It's All About Control
I often imagine being asked,
an interview if you will.
Why do you do it?
I am crossing my legs,
Pretending to think.
Why do you do it?
The voice echoes in my head.
I have the urge,
I answer honestly.
What kind of urge?
They will ask.
To do something wrong,
Something not tolerated.
I shrug now,
Acting oblivious to myself.
And you let it take you over.
They will state, not ask.
No. I will take it over.
I take over control.
I do how I please.
They will not be my boss.
They will do what I say.
So, it’s all about control?
They try to understand.
It’s about what I want.
It’s about the way they always made me feel.
It’s about revenge.
I state, making them wince.
Yes, it’s all about revenge.
Hadn’t they treated me like I was no one,
Hadn’t I grown up to be the man I am now.
Had they believed in me,
Would I not try to make them believe now.
