Inhale deeply, suffocating yourself
As the toxins enter your body
Along with the calmness you seek
Everything will be alright
What a horrid day it has been
Full of stress and tension
Wouldn’t it be lovely to relax
To forget about everything
Exhale slowly releasing it all
As the venom leaves it mark
Taking away another moment
Everything will be alright

The image says all.
Nice play on words, you seem to have captured the moment perfectly. I love your use of the word horrid, it reminds me of times gone by and how some words just get lost after a time. Inhale deeply the toxins enter, exhale slowly the venom leaves its mark. Both are quite true. Just another horrid day, yet tomorrow may bring something more. Everything will be allright. Well done, bravo, very good.

Sometimes that's just what we have to do. Take a deep breath and exhale, release all the daily toils that plague us.. and just remember that tomorrow is another day and it will be alright.
