That's one of my biggest problems, the need for control.
Now I see how so much is out of my control and it's scary.
I'm learning though......to let go.
I love that your poems show your vulnerability to issues alot of us feel.
I always leave your words feeling understood. ❤️

It’s a struggle.
We’ll get there.
Thanks for the love, my friend.

Great write Mary. Control is a big factor in many people's lives.

It sure is.
Thanks, K.O.

Ah... control... seizing it... releasing it... the bliss of the switch... nice write my dear...

Thank you for the understanding, Lady LDF.

So poignant, this is really very good.

That's a heavy cloud about to unleash the most furious storm, great foreshadowing.

Thank you, friend

Yeah, I agree be yourself.  You just have to find someone that compliments you, your yin to his yang, or visa versa.

I keep telling myself he’s out there…
Thanks, LJ

So much easier said than done, yeah?

You said it

There's generally a solid reason  we tend to need control. Not having it when we needed it most. The ones who understand that & are patient are golden...though few & far between. We know we can rely on ourselves...not as confident in relying on others. The self-reflection in this is beautiful

Oh believe me, I’m aware of all the reasons.
I’m learning to rely on myself more and not search for what I need in others.

But If I find the genie in the bottle, just once…
