Control is something many of us strive for,
Fight for,
Die for

A word that describes a theory, the meaning elusive and fleeting
Depending on circumstances and others,

Never fully within our grasp.
We struggle,
Anxious and wanting,
Striving to have the sense of mastery inherent within its meaning,
Never able to reach the heights it promises

Surrender to the abscence and feel peace,
At least and finally in possession of oneself
