They say: "don't sweat the small stuff."

Hearing this saying many times.
Don't know from where it came.
But often in my head it chimes.
When life plays another game.

Tricks always getting in the way.
Life bites once more where I sit.
This record again begins to play.
Teeth marks cause me to forget.

It is all small stuff, don't sweat.
Mind overwhelmed, lost again.
Fear finds a crack, I start to fret.
Causing reality to leak and drain.

Fantasy taking control of my mind.
Devil's grasp seeming not that small.
Melody fades, answers hard to find.
Dark shows, light dims, creating cabal.

Heart, psyche, fight over a black hole.
"Don't sweat the small stuff" rings clear.
Tumbling faster, almost out of control.
Flash. It's all small stuff, face your fear.
