some people don't know that they are controlling

Would I? Myself
Want to controll another?
Only if I needed to controll myself.
Only if I didn't trust
That my life was safe and secure.
Only if I had something
Left to lose.
What's the harm right?

Right!
The harm is
That you become responsible
For another's happiness
Do not change others
Let them be who they are
Let them be what they are
If it doesn't serve you
Keep them at bay
For you are the only one
Responsible for your own happiness.

Accept others in to your life
And only ever ask them
To make themselves happy.
And never forget
To make yourself happy too.
Because that's where
Consistent joy lies
You have the power
To choose your own path
To some extend
And then comes the soul.
the soul is the boss*

Do not stop
To ask others to suit your needs
You have to suit your needs
What others do for you
Is their own choice
And when it's good
It's the deepest expression
Of how much they love you.
That is true love
And it is as vast as time.
Allow it in to your life
And you will see
Miracles manifest.
I've met alot of controlling people in my life. Some mildly controlling, others compulsively controlling. I've suffered the consequence of trying to please others above myself and it never served me to any extend except that I learned my lesson. I breake rules and challenge others on a daily basis, not to harm them but simply to bite their feelings out. I'm not sorry. The only way to serve others daily, is to allow them and encourage them to be ok with who they are and follow it up with "if it doesn't hinder you, don't change it; if it hinders you, change it" but never try to change others for your own sake because then you are the one with a problem.
