Reverse Roles

Someone lead me,
I need a leader. 
I'm sick of being in charge. 
Sick of being confident. 
Sick of being positive. 
Sick of being funny. 
Sick of being deep. 
Take my role for a change. 
I perceive all of your options,
Now it's your turn. 
Protect me, be my guardian, 
Tell me everything is okay. 
I do it to you,
You owe me. 
Fight off the negatives thoughts 
invading me as I do the same. 
Be the oasis in the desert. 
Be my leader for a change.
