Control it

I have to control it

If I don’t what will become

What will emit

I just can’t believe

This is only the eve

Larger I say larger

Closer it comes

A single tear falls

Knees buckle

Shrieks ring out

Children pout

I scream I shout

A stamped of legs run past me

I look up to see

Darkness stares down at me

No light

Not even a hue of color

Arms fail to move

Fail to push back

Legs cease to move

Cease to flee

I can’t breathe

I can’t I can’t I can’t

Hands

A touch

Something…someone

A strong grasps on my shoulder

A call to look up

A smile replaces my frown

I swear to never look down

I raise my arms

I’m back to control

I can take it

If I have control

I will not go down

Not without reclaiming my crown
