When did I embrace
the illusion of control?
Looking back now
over all the days gone by,
I would have to admit
that somewhere along the way
I became tired of what seemed to be
a life of chaos swirling around me –
and so I dreamed up
that illusion of control.
I had to have been
just a child
when it happened
for,
how could a
mature
and
rational
person
ever be fooled
by such an illusion?
