Controlling Time

I grasp at strings with trembling hands,
Seeking control in shifting sands
Every detail I want meticulously planned,
But as fate determined, I can’t control every grain of Sand.

I crave dominion over every turn,
Yearning for control, makes my heart churn,
Yet destiny’s dance I cannot discern,
In the ebb and flow of life, I get burned.

I’m not really sure why I write, I always hated it in school and now I use it to convey what I don’t feel like I can say out-loud, enjoy.
