Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Stop and Breathe

When life presses in
from above, from below
from all around
stop and breathe

When you’re suffocating
drowning in stress
overwhelmed by responsibility
stop and breathe

When there’s too much to do
and time’s running out
when your heart keeps racing
stop and breathe

Even when life happens fast
you still need to take care of yourself
take the time to relax
take the time to stop and breathe
