A Plea

Change me, please.
I’m terribly tired
of being the same person
I’ve been for so long now.
Change is hard,
but so is watching the
world
slip away
while I sit
and talk
and read
and forget
my problems,
so I won’t panic.
Please.
Give me a way to think
in a way that won’t make me
terrified.
You do it every day.
Teach me
how to stop thinking
and get on with my life.
Please.
