Pressure Adjustment

I just need a second,

I just need a minute,

to catch my breath,

to get my head on straight.

I just need to rest my hands

on my bent knees,

I just need to stretch and arch

my back.

I just need to knead my eyes

with my fingers,

I just need to scratch my head

furiously for a bit.

I just need a deep sigh,

I just need a quick knuckle-crack,

to get alright,

to be okay.

I just need to rest my eyes,

I just need to adjust my chair,

to focus,

to relax.

I just need to roll my head on my neck,

I just need to drop my shoulders,

to alleviate the stress,

to stop the pressure.

I just need to inhale through my nose,

I just need to exhale through my mouth,

to breathe,

to breathe.
