Is it really a catastrophe
Is this the end of it all
Am I overreacting
I do that a lot
What is it that I really fear
Can I hide from all this pain
Will it bite me again
How is this not a disaster
Living in denial
Is denying just to live
Living in fear is what we should fear
But is it a tool
Drowning in regret
Suffering in sorrow
Separating from empathy
Isn't empathy at all
Do we have control
Do we have a say
If not us, then who
Do we need to let go
Do we have control
Will we have a say
If not us, then who
Will we ever let go
If we ignore it, it will burn
Avoid it and it will just return
How do we face it straight head on
Without driving into the wrong lane
Do we have control
Do we have a say
If not us, then who
Do we need to let go
Will we take control
Will we have a say
Up to us, to do
Do what needs to get done
Collapsing, from disillusion
What hurts more
Remembering what we had
Was that just the illusion
Do we have control
Do we have a say
If not us, then who
Do we need to let go
Do we have control
Should we have a say
Up to us to do
Do what needs to get done
Can we gain control
Can we have a say
It's all up to us
Do we need to do
