Straight lines and precise curves,<\/p>\n
The intricate crosses in it,<\/p>\n
Not crossing in any other way,<\/p>\n
Not a scratch out of place.<\/p>\n
Blocks and shades,<\/p>\n
Within the lines,<\/p>\n
Out of the box,<\/p>\n
But still within the lines.<\/p>\n
Controlling every move I make,<\/p>\n
Making sure its picture perfect,<\/p>\n
Art, abstract,<\/p>\n
But only my version of it.<\/p>\n
I’m holding on to the reins,<\/p>\n
So tightly my hands hurt.<\/p>\n
Never willing to lose even a smidge,<\/p>\n
Of the control I’m clutching on to.<\/p>\n
The art still beautiful,<\/p>\n
Taking its own course,<\/p>\n
Growing by itself,<\/p>\n
Letting it lead me in the dark.<\/p>\n
But I hate the dark,<\/p>\n
I love knowing,<\/p>\n
No, I can’t do it,<\/p>\n
I clutch the reins harder…<\/p>\n
