Why does every single damn thing - ESPECIALLY LOVE
Have to be about POWER?
And games?
Like Battleship, DON'T sink me
What motivates a person
To manipulate another?
Reserve themselves from someone who could possibly give them the most?
Free falling with a parachute attached
Why dilute your emotions
Stabilize your heartbeat
And monitor your thoughts
If you are presented
With someone who is uninhibited
And unafraid to show it all?
Are you petrified by the notion
That there exists a being capable of peering into your soul?
That there lives someone willing and able to take you as is?
Why does it always point back
To power?
Attention?
The chase, even...
Why must one have control of the situation
If the option to live it out freely
And organically
Is there?
Why are you catching some chips while allowing others to fall where they may?
I cannot understand a life
Of such calculation
Because while many may view me as sensitive
And emotional
I view it not only as
Being a man
But merely being human
So take the power
Here - take all of it, if it really means that much to you
The only power I've ever been concerned with
Is that of my heart
And if that power is too much for anyone
At least I know that makes me
Truly one-of-a-kind
