Calm

Sometimes your imagination can be a curse as it

 Runs

 You

 Around.

One dark fantasy after another until you

 Fall

 On

 The

Ground.

It’s hard for anyone else to understand you.

Try to understand them too.

Everything’s gonna

Be

 Alright.

Get some sweet dreams tonight.

You’re lost even in your house,

You can’t find a way out.

Keep a level head,

No need to shout.

You think everything’s upside down,

You’re losing your mind.

And it might actually be real

This

Time.

Close your eyes,

Tell yourself to breathe.

Say “Not everyone’s out to get me.”

Oh, calm.

Calm.

You feel like you are breaking down,

It gets so hard sometimes.

Calm.

You’re so scared of everything.

You just breathe and I will sing.

Fate seems to bring bad luck with

Every

Choice

You

Make.

Center yourself when the world

Starts

To

Shake.

Terrified that this is it,

You will never find your people.

You’re not alone,

I’ll lead the chorus

To a song that goes:

Oh,

Calm.

Calm.

You feel like you are breaking down,

It gets so hard sometimes.

Calm.

You go through it a thousand times.

Your pulse is going too fast,

And everything’s wrong.

Just listen to this song.

Calm.

You think the worst is yet to come,

You don’t remember much.

Thinking of monsters

And demons

And such.

Even when you don’t remember me

Or the melody,

The words shall ever remain with thee:

Oh,

Calm.

Calm.

You feel like you are breaking down,

It gets so hard sometimes.

Calm.

You go through it a thousand times.

Your pulse is going too fast,

And everything’s wrong.

Just listen to this song.

Calm.

Your heartbeat will be the death of you,

You swear.

Lavender and rain,

The scent

Fills

The

Air.

Just breathe.

Oh,

Calm.

Calm.

You feel like you are breaking down,

It gets so hard sometimes.

Calm.

You go through it a thousand times.

Your pulse is going too fast,

And everything’s wrong.

Just listen to this song.

Calm.

Calm.

Calm.

This is what I think of when I need to calm myself from a crazy day.
