Getting What You Want

You may get what you want, and be unprepared for it.
You may ask, pray and beg for years, and be unsure what to do when your gift finally arrives.
You may seek it your entire life, only to be afraid of it the moment you receive it.

What you “want” may arrive at a time outside your choosing.
Maybe years later.
Maybe after you have given up.
Maybe when you are too tired.
Maybe it looks and feels differently than expected.

You thought you knew.
What you desperately asked for, you have received.
And now, understanding what it means, you are terrified of it.
