That at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie." - Paulo Coelho

My face
it controls me
no sleep
tears creep upon me
they build up
behind my eyes
behind my face
that people cannot see

no dreams from no sleep
I never get an escape
from reality
so I try to cry
but they never leave my eyes
never traveling down my face
never being seen
