Change

I'm tired.

Can't handle

So many people

In one place

At once.

I'm overwhelmed.

I'm tired.

Just a bit of sleep

Might do the trick,

But a half hour later,

I'd be tired again.

I'm tired.

But I don't want

To disappoint

My best friend.

She wants me

To meet

Her friends.

She's so nice.

That one friend.

The one from

A different country.

Accepting

And a Whovian.

The one who

Asks for pronouns

And loves Clara Oswald.

Just talking.

Getting to know her.

To sit down

On an emerald couch

And just talk.

No worries,

No heat,

No problem for me.

But I'm tired.

Right now

Everything whirs around.

It's non-stop.

I need to stop

But there are no brakes.
