I try to keep emotions on a leash
And hold them when they want to run away;
I try to parcel out to each a niche,
And hope they know their place, and so will stay.
But when I touch the world outside my head,
And interact with it, my vain desire
To have control, and never to be led
By my emotions loses its empire
And I am overwhelmed by what I feel.
I cannot keep the fantasy alive that I
Have any power then: it's too unreal
To think I ever could make them comply
With my intent. Emotions rule me, then;
And always I'm aware they will again.
