Sweet Relief

The ego is a lie

An artificial high

Anxiety is a thief

Offering no relief

In our daily grind

As we navigate through life

Even the stoic among us know

Emotions will eventually  show

And often manifest

in characteristics that aren't the best

However,

If we stay

 on guard

We can prevent 

problems before they

start

Because 

the ego is a lie

it's an artificial high

Anxiety is a thief

And overcoming the two
 is sweet
relief
