A Timely Plea

11:10

the clock shines at me, boring through the darkness of my moonlit room. clutching my pillow tight to my chest, i breathe in sharply. this is it. a magical moment that only happens twice day. silly though i know it is, i sit up anxiously in bed, staring with determined eyes over at my alarm clock. with bated breath, i blink, and look at the time once more, anticipating the inevitable.

11:11

closing my eyes, i curl into a tight ball, praying and wishing, hoping with all my might.
"oh please God" i plead "you know what i ask of you....for strength, for courage, for your helping hand in the endeavours i now face. i know what i want, and what i must do, but i know it will be hard. something in my heart tells me i'm right, tells me this is what i need. help me."

opening my eyes, i sigh, sinking back into my bed and staring at the ceiling, seemingly searching for answers i know aren't there.

the clock has changed.
