I may not have control of your words But I can have control over my response I may not have control to stop your violence But I can protect myself I may not have control over loving you But I can acknowledge its death I may not have control over my memories But I can replace them with happy thoughts I may not have control over your movements But I can find another path I may not ever see you again But I can feel your spirit I may not have control over your pain But I can tell you it is self induce I may not have control over your future But I can control mine
