when alone with my thoughts, I contemplate control
and many other things so mysterious
control what exactly is this puzzling aspect of life?
an illusion, reality, wait, it's only an idea right?
or something else altogether, like a guiding force
control has no substance, control isn't tangible
yet this thing, I can see, I can hear, I can feel
control is a beautiful thing when we possess it
control is power, control is responsibility
control is an ultimate privilege
If we lose it, we become unbalanced
no longer harmonious, we feel powerless
and behind this large grey cloud
I see a golden outline
I know the sun is there
yet sometimes I wonder are we puppets on a string?
and does anyone actually control anything?

control is defined as:
to have power over something
to direct the behavior of a person or animal
when I try to grasp and hold control,
I find it's a slippery bar of soap
sliding through my fingers

Control is a road between of two or more extreme poles....and i know you can control darkness and brightness very well because the shine you have is from sunprincess :)
self-control seems to be alright but when others control me there'll be a fight! I own me that's the bottom line let's all be free not live like swine
