Slow it down,

take a deep breath.

The worst isn't your worst,

unless you make it your death.


Calm down!

Take a deep breath.

Sort through the chaos and mess.


Keep it down!

Take a deep breath.

Brimming and swimming...

It's flowing from your spine.


Up, down,

high, low.

Quiet your mind.


Running in circles,

going around and around.

It's tearing you apart,

it's ripping you raw.


Chaos... chaos... Peace!

I need peace.


Slow it down,

take a deep breath

The worst isn't your worst,

unless you make it your death...
