Chen S. Nagar - Stress

Stress is an epidemic
That plagues us all in a way;
Stress alarms us, alerts us,
And then alters our bodies and brains;
It grips us in its clinging clutches
Changing us...aging our cells and bodies.
When this malevolent stress takes over,
It assaults and maligns us from within
Penetrating to the core of our being.
