I am always in control. No instance or person can be assured that they control me. In the end, I always win. 010409 ... monde s/he who can destroy a thing has one KIND of control over a thing. it is called "coercion". coercion is not total control, though it may have a strong illusion of being that way. all the control in coercion must be continuously externally enforced. the controlled entity can - & likely will - leap away from your control as fast as he/she/it possibly is able, the nanosecond a chance to do so chances to occur. s/he who can fascinate, who can enrapture, who can influence, who can inspire devotion or pure trust in the controlled - that control is TOTAL. It is called persuasion. the persuaded enjoys, desires, or at the very least trusts the one who exerts the control...and needs no cages, shackles or bonds. the controlled believes in their free will, but having been eroded by meticulous application of persuasion, it becomes virtually nonexistent. and what's more, coercion tends to be ugly, whereas persuasion makes everyone happy - at least for a while. 010411 ... god or is it "aunts"? 010518 ...

Control of my moods, control of my sense of worth, were taken from me at knife point. With the blade pressed against my breast, slowly it pierced my heart and there I stood, motionless as the first drop of blood splashed to the ground. Too scared, too afraid, to attempt to regain control. The risks are too great, the stakes too high. But maybe I like to live dangerously, living in despair. Maybe it is me who is holding the knife. 020606 ... phil I dropped the spoon in the sugar and I can't find the hole I am in heaven with the devil and I can't sell my soul somebody wrote something I knew I had to know My feet aren't working and I fell on the floor nobody came around to help me when the fire turned pale I woke up in a room that I hadn't seen at all I wander down the halls wondering when I'm coming home I hear a song playing and something they said reminds me what I'm thinking of how I was dead woke up in a coma woke up in my home shattered pictures bleeding hands no connection woke up in a coma woke up in my home 021014 ... *silent screams My mind is filled with thoughts that are beyond my control, do i try to hold back the ocean and push u outta my life, or do i give in to this new feeling and let it consume me? 021206 ... liquid silver yes please... 021206 ...
