Sonnet 5: The implications of your strength confuse


The implications of your strength confuse My emotions and leave me perplexéd; Do I find safety in your able arms, Or do I fear the strength sup’rior to mine? The way you take control is my excuse For the comfort I find in depended Thought and action on the more able one; “Besides, if it were me it’d take more time.” But I ask myself what I have to lose; I see my future self as wretched, Visions as a doll in your house alarm, And I see this is not a perfect rhyme. Which confuséd instinct do I turn to, Content remains, but is fear overdue?
