Poem: i am a control freak... but i have no control and my head is fighting a battle it will never win.
feeling like screaming from
inside the soundproof box that is my brain.
the louder i scream, the smaller the box becomes
until i choke to breathe.
i tell myself i won't stay in here... locked inside
there must be a door - all boxes have one... right?
i am a control freak... but i can't find the one door
to take my mind to freedom.
frantic i claw the walls... until the flesh of my
mind bleeds... i won't be boxed in like this.
i can see all outside the box... so calm and normal
i can see them all staring back at me.
all they can see is what i allow them to see
a hollow shell beneath a mask.
i am a control freak... but i'm not fooling anyone
i'm insane and out of control.
they try to pull me out of the box... let go!
i'm safe here!... but they try to wrench me out.
i am still screaming... but they love me & won't let go
eventually, i will forgive and thank them.
i am a control freak... but i fool myself
to think that i have control... but i don't....
