"Maybe..."
"No."
"Lately..."
"No."
"Could somebody..."
"No."
"Save me..?"
Stop thinking thoughts,
stop feeling feelings,
stop breathing breaths,
stop living life.
Control.
Control.
Control.
"Can anybody hear me?"
"No?"
Stay awake,
stay alive,
stay coherent,
stay dependent,
stay dumb.
Control.
Control.
Control.
"Am I free?"
"Bound."
"Oh."
Negligent to good causes,
negligent to consequences,
negligent to circumstances,
negligent to all the bloodshed.
Control.
Control.
Control.
"Where am I!!!"
"Please..."
Instinct takes the masses,
beastliness consumes its soul,
and all the while the few are hounded,
by the darkness that is in control.

The monologue sounds so relatable to me... as I've had these feelings myself. Just as if, I'm talking to myself inside my head, trying to get myself to move on and live life, but still thinking of those things that make it impossible for me to actually do so.

Mmmm... It seems like everything in our lives today just tries to manipulate us.
