Dear Universe,

Could you make an exception?

Please show me that death is not scary.

Or at least what it is like so I'll know.

Every single day I have many moments of panic.

These strange fears that my brain is about to explode.

Please heal me from this plague on my brain.

Living in constant fear should not be a legal thing.

Please allow me to be left alone.

I'll never ask for another thing

No matter how much the pain.

Sincerely,

Janice
