24: Locus of Control
(Ballad)
The whims of circumstance destroys
A world of former cheer,
Overtaking it in the noise
Of things that disappear.
I can't account for everything
That happens everyday,
Nor can I count on anything
To rise up from decay.
This is the life I'm forced to live:
How can I make it whole
When all these moments that arrive
Lie outside my control?
There lies a curse within this background
That always drives me nuts,
As if I'm bleeding from the knife wounds
Of a thousand tiny cuts.
Control is all I want and need,
Nothing more and nothing less,
But that's a gift that far exceeds
My privilege to possess.
Although I haven't the control
To have it all my way,
At least allow me to console
My bitterness away.
(To be continued...)
A/N: Life keeps giving me lemons... ( T_T ) So I'll just make some lemonade... ( ^_^ )
