Control

Try to keep control,
Don't let the monster patrol,
Your beautiful soul,
Try to close the open hole.

Don't let into desire,
Though your heart may feel on fire,
Keep yourself in control,
Of your beautiful soul.

You've come so far,
So don't let the tar,
Continue to fill your lungs,
Don't let your life be strung.

Your life is very precious,
So don't be vicious,
To people who care about you,
Always stay happy and true.

Love this piece. Desire is one thing that denies people to be their real-self, walk or run in an uncontrollable pace and at the end find themselves in unpleasant situations
