#nocontrol
I am trapped in my body, watching the figure that patrols it around doing what she wants and saying what she will. My mind feels muddled as the words 'I do not care' pierces them. Is this who i am? I pull at the the bars that trap my mind around others, my anxiety skyrocketing. But the person in the cockpit simply replies to my worries and woes, "oh well, I'll worry about that sometime soon"

What do we do, when we no longer have control, no longer can say, do, or change a thing about a situation. We just have to accept it, as painful as it is. We need to learn to live with it...

No control
Here I am, deep down... deep down... deep down into the dark night. Swept up by Sadness' stench. I am floating nowhere. I want to move my feet one and then the other, one and then the other. I ****** my feet faster than a boat propeller; but I have two solid bricks of ice where my toes used to be. I am still floating, deeper and deeper into nowhere until time and space are lost friends. Everything swiftly slips from my fingertips.

Deep Down
I wanted to control the things I couldn’t avoid. Growing up, disappointment, and how my heart gets destroyed. Pieces shattered in my hands as I tried to hold moments of my life created uncontrolled. Curating a mind grown with unchecked panic. Thoughts clashing around like violent storms from the Atlantic. Wishing my words came out less frantic and more romantic.

How can you be so infatuated on a single substance A single thing that can ruin any connection that may try to sprout To make what is already grown fragile enough untill they all have been shattered As it is a wall blocking those who choose it from the real world and yet you choose the foreign substance but do you consider how dangerous that something is That you can loose your own body your own mind your own life People talk about aliens or if mind control really exists but the undeniable is already reeping the nation   with the acceptance age being 21 you have given over your mind and body The contract signed A signature with your name finished in a lithal red It might as well of been your will For the only life you will live won't even be lived as as you you choose to be isolated accompanied by something you've only know for a couple of years and leave behind the people whom you have known all your life or worse all of theirs The life where you have choices to not be bounded To be in control Is gone with a simple existence a baneful prison A fate which you solidified with setting a reminder in the back of your head A nag that is eating away any sanity   Deteriorating each sip that goes by The mind so weak though so always frail easy to be controlled by a simple substance yet It is only though that when your body looses way and the pain from with in seeps through with the physical limitations having been met For then you finally say I shouldn't of started Yet how come you still won't stop?

I want to leave, to run away. I want the sun on a brand new day. See this life I live, its not me at all, almost like its not Autumn but instead its Fall. Falling down to the dark abyss, not like Alice more like constant darkness. I love him, with all of my heart, but I'm not in love, I cannot be, because how can I love him that way but not me? I have this problem, with finding myself. Who am I, but another story on a shelf? I search for me, relentlessly but to no avail, its a dead end trail. I dont know where to start, or where to go, but deep down inside I just know. Its not fair to him or me, this life we've built is misery, and I tell him this and he rolls his eyes, but I'm certain he knows this too deep down inside. Even still its not fair to us, for us to stay, I'd be better off far away, but how can I leave him if he thinks he's happy, how do I go while still leaving him me?

I want to leave me.
I cut myself with a sharp knife It wasn’t on purpose I swear I feel the pain   I Think I fainted Never have I ever seen this much blood before It was all over the bathroom floor One sick thought I got “collect my blood In a little jar” And that I did But then I got to think I realized It was sick I washed the blood of the jar And called my mom saying That I dropped the knife on my foot Wasn’t on purpose nur so good I waited for her to come home my blood on our bathroom floor

A sharp knife
The river continues to flow, it's banks crying even though, the water isn't in control and no one can console tears that fall on deaf ears. I wish that you could know, that once I was able to glow, but you left and now my soul, feels like a lump of coal. Oh!, how I wish that you were near.

The River Flows
Like a toothpick on a mammoth river, I have no say in where I’ll go. I think I know where I’ll end up. A tiny sliver on a massive torrent- I will not sink, though I may tangle With another floating twig And find me carried in its direction Whether that be to the salty ocean Or washed up on a riverbank. I’ll fetch up where the current puts me- There’s no arguing with life Or the mighty Columbia River. ljm

METAPHOR
I'm just a doll come to life Only activated when people come to me I am a blank canvas ready to be painted By conversations and events of the day I am a mindless soul wandering throughout life Turning on when people need me or want me. I am not an individual,merely stitches of multiples put together as one: ideas, personality, tendencies, not original but not cliche. Who I am is pieces of different persons seen together in different colors and taste of personalities. I am only made of others but none of myself personally. Each person is their own to be what they choose But I am only a canvas a thought of their muse I only self activate on the blue moon For I am only made from recycled blues

You can't control it, that's just the deal Sometimes you're the mouth, sometimes the meal Fate does not care how you feel Converging lines that do not meet Even though we look and seek We only find circles that do not close It's just the way the story goes We only ever see half a picture We only see through our eye's stricture If only our heart had eyes Maybe then we'd see why If we call someplace paradise We condemn it to die We can kiss it goodbye So make the best of what you got Don't get lost in the mayhem of your thoughts You'll never find exactly what you sought You must deal with what the fates have brought Come what may, with your pants down don't get caught

Come What May
I was scattered to the farthest reaching stars Thoughts on thoughts stacked like library halls till the many pages formed a face and with growing thrist swallowed me down into the endless night of a dying black hole I had lost all self control

SHE SHOULDN'T BE RIGHT
Darkness covers my vision, making me fear my own actions. The actions I can't control. The action of me picking up a blade, only for the light to come back as my lover walks in. The action of me screaming at my lover, only for the light to come back the next morning. Who I am can change and it scares me. I don't know what to do. I can't control myself anymore. I need the pain. I need the blade. I need the blood. I can't survive the blackout...

The Blackout
We spoke today after ages It felt like a part of me came back Now we talk everyday It feels like a bright sunny day I miss his hands He knows me, he understands The way he makes me feel The pain inside my heart will never heal He’s something I really need We miss each other, we both agreed There are so many things I have no control over It makes me feel like I’m not at all sober I feel this way without a single drink I can’t help but think I want to see him, hold him, feel him Run towards him and just stay there with him Maybe I never want to leave He’s my only belief

A conversation that matters
No one truly understands, My demons commands, That quiets my voice, And gives me no choice, That ruins the present, With resentment, That makes me sad, And oh so mad, Over reasons I do not know, Because he doesn’t even show, All he does is but control, He plays each and every role, Of that I hate myself for, Straight down to my core, When will I understand, Where it is he stands, Is he in my heart-my soul, Will he turn it to coal, Or is he in my brain-my mind, Will I ever be able to find, Where he is truly hidden, So I can get rid of him.

No control No control my life is whirling out of control; My life is spinning and I'm not winning are you sinning? Can you spare any fare so that this mess you may repair

Mess
Where am I? Who are you? This place is familiar Yet unfamiliar at the same time My body acts differently The words I say are not mine Who is controlling me? This is not who I am The walls are closing in And I can’t breathe I am not in control I am no longer me.
