Slow Down

 You just need to chill

Let things go

Lean on those around you

Lose the attitude

 

Talk to people

Get rid of the anger

And realise the truth

You are not ok

 

Life has been tough

Death follows you

You are now alone

Living in an empty nest

 

But know this,

Your attitude and actions

They affect others around you

So please be self-aware

 

You are in pain

It’s easy to see

Your eyes tell is all

They are a window to your soul

 

You think you are the leader

That you know it all

But there are people around you

So, listen to them from time to time

 

Life will get easier

But you need to want it

Aggression is not the answer

So slow down and breathe
