Regain Control

I let you enter my life

Not knowing what

You would cause

Now I stand on a ledge

Approaching a jump

Is what I pledge,

How I let you control me

I don't know

I feel like I'm burning within

With so much uncertainty

Hoping spontaneous combustion will begin,

My head spins on its axis

Not knowing if I will ever

Get a grip

And plant my nerves solid

This is going to be a long endeavor,

I don't know if I have what it takes

To regain control

Of my mind

My body

My soul.

Reminds me of 'How wild it is just to let life be' from the book Wild by Sheryl Strayed.

Strong poem, well done. It shows inner turmoil.

Could you review me.

A powerful poem my missed friend.
"To regain control
Of my mind
My body
My soul"
Once took me five years to gain my sanity. Love can lead us to madness and sweet places. Hard to regain sanity. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Well expressed. This one spoke to me on a personal level. I, too, once stood on such a ledge. Leapt and went SPLAT!. Fortunately no spontaneous combustion was involved. I suspect this is a quite common human experience. Again, well done.
