Mood swings?
They are not mine to have,
Nor mine to enjoy.
A state of being perpetually confused—
Confused by emotions that should not be my lord.
Should I fantasize about being controlled
By what was meant to serve me?
By what I was meant to use for my cause?
Should I romanticize this fog?
The state of not knowing why I do the things I do,
Living at the mercy of a feeling?
Should I glorify this conflict?
Hurting the ones who love me
Because of a pulse I cannot explain?
No, thank you.
I am not interested.
I refuse to be trapped in a hole
I have the power to step over.
You thought I was powerless?
You thought I had no control?
Well, I do.
I choose to invite it in,
Or push it far away.
It is I who holds the key.
And when I say you are not allowed—
You are not allowed.
Whether you choose to keep romanticizing this,
That is for you.
But as for me and my whole being?
I say NO.
