No Control Poem by Megan Reily

I cannot control it
I’ve always been logical
My mind moves
As if it is a pattern
But I cannot control it

I cannot control it
These tears washing down
I don’t want them here
I don’t need them here
But I cannot control it

I cannot control it
The bursts of fiery anger
It overshadows the deep root
The deep root of meaning in my mind
But I cannot control it

I cannot control it
This outstanding love
It kills me
It heals me
It won’t leave me alone
I wish to wash it from my hands
Scrub till there is no more
This love that controls me
I cannot control it

I cannot control it
I’ve always been logical
I cannot control it
My mind is a pattern
I cannot control it

I cannot control this love
