Control

Take control
before it is taken from you.

Control
your sex
your sleep
your drugs

 Control
your love
your lies
your excuses

Control
your mind
your breathing
your will

Take control
before it is taken from you,
by the memory of past failure-
because you couldn’t learn.

Before you lose it to
wild fantasies of unrealistic beauty
to ease your loneliness.

Before you give it up
to the aging face in the mirror-
as time continues with or without you

Take control-
Take it, it is yours.
