Lost Control


I stand on a presipice between the weight of the world

And the lightness of forgetting

My thoughts a hurricane, a symphony gone awry

Notes clashing like thunder

Rythm of chaos dancing on my spine

 

I crave a stillness, the sweet embrace of clarity

The fabric of my resolve unravels thread by thread

Each moment a tug of war

Each heartbeat a reminder of the fragil boundries

I once endured

 

I remember the days when I walked with certainty

The sun a compass, the starts my guide but now...

The night swallows me whole, the moon once a friend

Becomes a distant witness

To my untimley end

 

I claw at the walls of my being, but they crumble

Like sand castles washed away by waves of emotion

The tide of dispair rising, and I am just a puppet

For what is control? But an illusion adrift in the ocean

 

Releaed from the chains of expectation

Stripped bare and vunrable from burdend perfection

Yet oddly free but still lost at sea

I stand on the edge of this abyss ready to leap

Embrace the fall and lose control within me
