Control

"Thoughts are like anchors and now mine are pulling me under the sea."

I've lost control over my thoughts and over myself,

I used to be strong but now I am not.

I've lost my grip on the little ledge I was hanging off of,

And as I fell I bumped into old habits I thought I got rid of.

All I wanted,

And all I needed was to have control over the one thing I thought I owned.

I wish I could say that control is overrated,

but it is not.

I hit the water below with a hard splash.

I'm going under.

I'm drowning.

I've lost all control and now I'm drowning.
