Controlling Others Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Finding strength in daily trials of life, surrounded
by inept people, holding lives other than their own
in check.

Sorry beings intent on controlling lives, while
enhancing their own.

Silently killing those they claim to love with all
their reality of hatred instead.

Hurting beyond all reason, locked within their own
hells, reaching out to pull immortal victims into
this hell with them.

Not caring who gets hurt or why they continue
living in the past, pushing all who venture near or
dare to love into their hatred-filled fantasy,
belonging to the past.

Blood stained tears are all that's left of the
victims they choose to kill.
