Control.
The deceptive truth
wandering eyes
an elusive spook.
.
Unaware of the threat
to you and your sanity.
with a grasp so tight
hoping to be released from its tyranny
.
Whilst only getting deeper
falling into its trap,
A juxtaposed mind
Neither this, neither that
.
A new world imagined
due to a love of the tight hold
unrealistic truths
with nothing left to unfold.
.
A predicted future
taken as fact.
Smiles all around
until the control gets hacked.
.
The wrong turn recognised
perspectives readjust,
Decoy reset
a little unsure on what to trust
.
Deciding not to run,
to appreciate what is.
The once frantic mind
now reminded of the hidden bliss
.
Realistic with plans
and what it is that needs to change
an honest introspective search
to see whats really within range.
.
Taking each step as it comes
letting go of the grasp
believing in your true self;
and only trusting in that.
