how to beat the blues

is the sky falling or the
ground shaking
vibrations that take your
breath away or cause
your own body to shake
resembling cloudy days
that don’t go away?

well, if so, the stress
monster has visited you
bearing the name of Stressful Casey
an incorrigible, unreformable
menace who likes to flip your
switch, so to speak, make
your eyes twitch, give you
a stomachache, or direct you to
raid the frig, and/or give you some
shit about what you did or
didn’t do
all to make you crazy and
stressed out

you don’t want to be friends
with Stressful Casey
a common, most irritating
kind of bugger
who wants to rattle your
cage at any moment
especially when you’re
having a good day
