Control

Control

Holding more tightly,

       thinking we can

Grip more rightly

Make the thing do

    the thing we want it

To do

Opening up

Letting go

Letting up

Letting be

These do not come to me

       Naturally

But we all have

The capacity to become

And change and develop

And I can learn 

      To let be, let go

The tighter the vice, 

     The more it pushes

The other to go

But we can

     To some extent

Control ourselves

This is really all we can do

And I should do

If there is one thing I have learned

It is this

     But I we all forget

And learning is something I

Need do again and again

One day I hope to be

    Where I want to be

But where will I want to be then?

All I can be now

Is the strongest person I can

And the rest I can little

Control

I cannot control much, even as I have tried to do so, and when all I should really be trying to control is myself, even if I have spent so much time ensuring that I have this or that when it comes to others

I am at a moment of great personal change, and I am facing the challenges. I feel some anxiety and some uncertainty, but it is part and parcel of not knowing what is to come
