Control

Rivulets that branch out,

Water that shines under the scattered sunlight,

The mud that always lies underneath,

On the lookout for the next storm


What's a story that's untainted?

Is it a story if it's crafted to perfection?

The soul, the juice, the essence—

'Tis all birthed from mistakes


Storyteller or a character?

A narrator that animates reality,

Or, an actor who's made to replicate?

Who are we? Are we real?


Weaving threads into patterns,

What about the invisible ones?

Control is but a comfort,

A candy to allay the soul.
