Obsevations of methods of coping with stress
Energy in its purest form
Stronger than any ocean tide

Resistance is futile
Makes me shake inside

Looking for an outlet
One that relieves the pressure

Sometimes I'll do anything
Just so I can feel better

Better just means different
It doesn't always mean good

Smoke a cigarette, drink a beer
Ignore my need for food

Avoid, distract, evade
Things I cannot deal with

Healthy coping mechanisms
To me are just a myth
