Control me
With my emotions
Control me
With my dreams
Control me
Because you can
Control me
And cause me to bleed

My life is not my own
Because you sit on the throne
But once you turn around
My strength will be so keen
You’ll want to take back
The times you controlled me

Control me
And watch as I succeed
Of making you think
That you once controlled me

-J.R
I don’t know what really inspired this. If I have to find the root to this poem, it would be that I hate when someone just wants to control you because they think they have a right to. They play with your emotions and hurt you. But then when you realize the hold they have on you, you come out stronger than ever. And that’s the best control you’ll ever have. To have control over your strength. Is the best thing one can do.

I feel like the shattered glass in my hair
A million little pieces wondering nowhere
Before just a fracture
Waiting in complete despair
Is now a mess
Once no one dared to care
Now they surround with fear
Trying not to step on the glass that is everywhere
Do my haunted eyes tell them
How it is I feel?
Or do they compare me to before?
Before the mess
Before the haunted eyes
Do they see me through shattered glass?

-J.R
I was in a car accident. A drunk driver hit my car and all I could feel was the shattered glass in my hair. It amazed me how people started seeing me differently. I'm still haunted by the memories of it all. But I know I'm going to be okay. I'm grateful to God that I did not suffer any severe injuries :)

Why did you have to attack me
When I was in the dark?
Was it because you were running
And I was who you found?
But you know me
You love me
But now I’m crying
Trying to understand
Why you didn’t see me as your friend
Why did I have to be broken
By your own hand?
I am blind when it comes to love
And who is there to defend me?
No One

-J.R
I don’t even know anymore.

Sometimes I spend the night in a different room
Not because I feel alone
But because I don't want to be consumed
By the same emptiness of the night
My mind must not wander in it
Or I will surrender to it
Others have done it before
I will make sure not to walk through that door
Madness will call me
No choice but to go with it
So I leave my room
So it won't find me in it

-J.R
This poem is just me trying to explain why I find myself in a different room. Sometimes I just can't sleep in my own bed. Because it doesn't feel right. I feel like if I sleep in that bed over and over again, I'll drive myself insane. The second line I lied because I do feel alone. Sometimes you just need someone with you, to feel the warmth and the presence of other human being.

My sadness is bright
I see it so clear
Blinding me in sight
It’s cruel way to let me know it’s here
How can I stop it?
I am only made of fear
Finding strength
Knowing there is none near

-J.R
I really just wrote this to express what I feel in this moment. Seeing family isn't always so great.

I find myself in a dark place
It falls quiet
Surrounding me with its silence
Waiting for my surrender
To be one with the dark
If I am still
I won’t be noticed?
If I just don’t move I’ll have one more moment to remember

Remember when my parents took me to the park
Remember when my siblings hugging me
Remember! Just Remember!

Remember that love that was given to you
And could never be taken away
Because you will not surrender it
It will make a path
Breaking the surrounding darkness
And all you will hear is the beautiful light that you remember

-J.R
I really don't know if this counts as a poem but I wrote it and I wanted to put it out there. Its meant for someone who just needs to remember that you have a path. You have a future. What your path will be made of is up to you. Whats at the end will be the greatest thing ever because you chose that path. When I think of my path in life I see is as a gold river. I know what I see for my own reasons. I hope you do too.
