In Control


I’ve been regected and neglected with a silent anger,

That I know I shouldn’t feeel.

It’s an ownership I’d wish to tamper,

To make them bow down and kneel.

But I know I have to hide my shadows,

So I promise them that I won’t.

But I really cannot control my dark side,

I don’t know how to. I really don’t.
