Stress into Art


Whenever I ignite a spark

I turn stress into art

At times when I feel that I fall apart

I look inside my heart

And try to find out how to make a new start

 

It’s easy said than done

But in the long line there will be a champion that has won

We’ve seen it in movies, books, and history

That whenever the solution is shrouded in mystery

You do whatever it takes to claim victory

 

As they say that hard work pays off

The more put in, the more you get out of it

But what defines “more”?

If you only put some into it

All you’ll receive is just a bit

There’s no exception for that and certainly no option to quit

 

So I leave you with this

Whenever you’re at a time of failure

There’s no time to reminisce

Stop what you’re doing and think of a plan

Take a deep breath and press restart

And turn stress into art.
