Control is something I need to show.

Letting things roll off

and just flow.

The art of being easy-going

is one I need to learn,

so I seek to discern.

Losing control is not cool.

It can make you look like a fool,

just sitting in a pool

of sheer embarrassment.

Place yourself in time out,

and wait for patience to sprout.

Patience is what it’s all about.

Taking time to count

and to breathe,

are tools I can learn to help

my out of control tendencies to turn.

Stress is a precursor

for issues such as these,

and I can tell you

that it isn’t going to be a breeze.
