Controlled
By Ender
Controlled Life around me passes like a dream, reflected in a translucent gleam Feelings swirl through my brain Though lost within a mist they are, they’re someone else’s thoughts by far Of most of these emotions, I am drained Invisible puppet strings form the noose, longing to be set free and loose But these wants quickly subside For the shadow falls upon my hope, the hope of a man at the end of his rope I’ve failed every time I’ve tried The mirror I so often see, it appears right here before me Exposing to me my flaws Flaws I live with day and night, they are now right in my sight, And I am held in awe I step through the mirror as it liquidates, try as I might not to desecrate For now before me is my destiny Do as they say, do as they do, follow the goals they want to pursue If only they would leave me be Written November 24th, 2001 © on Nov 24 2001 06:37 AM PST 18 • 0 • 1
