Control
A single word can mean the world in a bottle
Let it form into a dozen meanings
Yet, it means so much to you
Not to those who think you are too simple to understand
To you it means to have complete command over yourself
Command over your surroundings
Wearing gold stripes to show your dominance
It’s that one thing that you crave
This word is what life can be
Letting them have your life
They have your life in the white palm of their hand
Grab it
Can you reach it?
Can you see the control as they close their hand tight?
It is what you yearn for
Go get it
