The Things That Happen When You Ask For Help

A poem

Your stress level will decrease,

your blood pressure will lower,

your heart rate will calm down,

you will probably sleep a little easier,

and breathe a little easier,

and no longer feel crushed beneath

the weight upon your back.

You’ll be able to think more clearly,

about what you need,

and what you want,

and where to go from here.

You’ll let the people who want the best for you

show you how much they love you, too.
