there are people
who like complete control.
controlling every little thing,
every little detail.
their children,
they hate it.
having every friend chosen
down to the last shared interest.
their friends,
they can't stand it.
having everything be up to their choosing
every decision made without comment.
their acquaintances,
they don't care.
they choose to walk away from these people
and never dare
to speak to them again.
don't let people control you.
you give them that power and you're done for.
once they get a small taste of control,
they'll be begging you to give them more.
