Driving as fast as I can
Things blur and sounds fad
Reaching for the wheel to keep control
But in all ways fail
Running as hard as I can
Knocking people out of the way
Ignoring what people have to say
Trying to breath to keep control
But in all ways fail
Fighting fears as ruthlessly as I can
Throwing mental fists that fail to penetrate
Kicking emotional feet that fail to knock them down
Trying to win to keep control
But in all ways fail
Crying unseen tears as loud as I can
Expressing ideas that are not heard
Speaking a language that can not be understood
Reaching for translation to keep control
But in all ways fail---
Things crash
People are hurt
Fights are lost
Cries are never heard………
Despite all the hurt we experience
All the confusion we feel
All the things we lose…
We will… struggle… to grasp…
The one thing we will never have
…control…
…But in all ways fail
Author notes
I am so scared of the future because every secound that passes means it gets that much closer to me.....all my life I have lost every single good thing in my life and/or have watch it happen to those that are closest to me. The only two constants in my life have been God and my Grandparents. My biggest fear in knowing i have no control over how my future unfolds....YES I can influence it trenduously BUT i n the end I have no idea who i will be with, where I will be, what I will be doing, or where I will be living in the up coming future.

The repetition of the line "…But in all ways fail" is so powerful in this piece, and ennunciates the point well enough so that you aren't being annoyingly redundant. Wonderful job!

Good work
Such a well-expressed poem. Well done.
Do not fear, Beloved, for control is in the best Hands possible.

very nice
i totally know the position you are in. and i wish you luck. i am in a situation kind of like this too. you just have to know that sometimes you just have to rely on urself for consolation. sometimes the best guidance can come from one's own heart. remember that. as for the poem, it was very heartfelt and i liked it. keep it up. whatever you want to do in life, strive to acheive it, no matter how difficult it may seem. everything is attainable. i hope you feel better soon ^^
