I have asked for silence, Not to go deaf or unable to speak. I have asked for everything to be gone, Not to go blind. I have asked to breathe calmly, Not to completely stop breathing. I have asked to be releaved, Not to go weak. I have asked to forget things, Not to have amnesia. I have asked to dim the lights, Not to be trapped in the darkness. I have asked to stop the nightmares, Not to stop sleeping. I have asked to stop crying, Not to stop all emotions. I have asked to cool down, Not to freeze. I have asked to be warm, Not to boil with heat. I have asked to be patient, Not to wait forever. I have asked to stop all the problems, Not to stop everything. I have asked to turn away from the mirror, Not for it to break me. I have asked that things go back to normal, Not for everything to appear as something worse. I have asked to change myself, Not to be changed into a stranger I dont even know.
