Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
A trip to peace

Relax

by Jaxpoet

Do you feel it
The tightness
Squeezing your shoulders
And the back of your neck

Why

There were no thoughts provoking it
No stress that you were aware of
No incident
Tightness just tightness

Relax

Breathe --- deep --- and --- slowly ---
Again --- and --- again ---
Until it ebbs away

You smile
