.Control. .Freak.

I took you home again
in this little green heart
that's always full

being perfect is pleasing to others
being perfect is unpleasing to me

You watched me change
into the one who doesn't change at all
They watched me change
into someone unlike myself
In between love and reality
is where I live

Hearts and feet are too strategically placed
between tangibility and mentality

You'll hold me up
and show me how to move
They'll hold me up
and show me how to move back
to my former self
Coz that's how they love me
That's how you hate me

So I'll hold this cup
half-full of liquor
So I'll hold this burden
half-full of you
And swallow down this coke
coz this is all I can taste

You're all I want to taste

The control freak is stronger
Stronger than you
I feel alive through your direction
So tell me who I am
Show me what to do
Prove to me that I'm better
I'm all better.
You proved that I'm better than you.

Author notes

This piece is a little darker than normal... Something different than my normal style. I think it digs a little deeper... Its a little harder. Its a little more honest, and less 'candy-coated'.

    Aw Kala, I didn't mean to offend you by saying something. I was just making fun of her when I told her that coz I thought it was funny that she said "thank you" to you for basically doing your job. It was just something to tease her about. I do agree with you on it. But she definately doesn't hold that against you, nor did it bother her in the least. She actually told me this week that you guys have been talking more and she likes you. I hope you're not mad at me... maybe I should have said it... I was just tryin' to tease her. =( don't be sad with me.
    Love,
    The other Kala

    Sorry this isn't about the poem, hey it's kala (the other one). Well, i just wanted to say that i'm sorry i said what i did about your sister. i don't even know her, but i like her from the times i've worked with her this week. She seem's very genuine and nice. That's kind of why I wish you hadn't of told her what I said about her. Because now she probably has some weird opinion about me being judgemental or something. I do realize she is your sister, and I shouldn't have said anything to you or I wouldn't be in this mess. I do wonder why you told her though, because you seemed to agree with the things I said.
