Curled up beneath my thin blanket
Rubbing my lower lip with my thumb
I pray
God help me
I don't know what to do
Please God
Help me
I don't know what to do
Then I realize
I made the same prayer
In the same position
50 years ago
And have
Many
Many times since
Usually I get answers
But I'm always panicked
So I calm my mind
And pray again
Please God
Help me
I don't know what to do
