Do Not Try To Control Me
When I am excited about things I cannot do enough
To show you my enthusiasm, to provide joy in every direction
My passion cannot be limited
It is best to give me the freedom to do
And be
And enjoy
When you try to reign me in, squelch me, saddle me,
Ride me up the hill in your direction
I become a wild mustang
A grizzly bear
a maniacal lion
wanting to bite off your arms and your legs
it does not bode well for either of us
so if I were you
I would stop trying to
Direct and micro manage me
It will not be a pleasant ending for either of us
