Control

so very
broken

I felt
shattered
into many pieces
I fell
down
down
down
down to the place
I was once
warned
My sister
was there
she told me tales of woe
that d d d

dripped in the sink
trails of red
as your life d r a i n e d
from where you wanted it to
you see
it wasn't about wanting
to leave the world
it was about controlling what you were given
for once
I dictated what hurt me
and that
felt
good.
