    I lost myself by trying to control
    The more I failed the more I tried
    I didn’t know I was on a roll
    Subconscious played my mind

    I wasn’t strong enough to see
    How drove you away from me

    I wrapped myself around you
    I lost identity and drive
    My Chief Of Happiness -
    The title I wanted you to wear.
    I was inert and didn’t see
    I was a man you couldn’t bear

    Life gave me gift of you
    And I was grateful
    Then I became content
    It was a start of my descent
    I didn’t see the gift as flock of birds
    I shut my eyes on your true nature
    I shut my ears to your words

    The more we fell
    The more I used my guards
    Control, resentment, jealousy
    Became my playing cards

    I’ve never been a gambler or a player
    Not being true to myself was my slayer

    And then life gave me gift of pain
    My suite was playing evil game
    Ace depleted my body
    King took away my mind
    Queen boiled my emotions
    God! Stop this grind!

    I was complete and ugly wreck…
    A high speed train ran through red lights and…
    Got served reality check

    You poor thing, my dear wife
    You went through slow burning pains
    They sat in you for many months
    Like acid dripping in your veins.

    Decision wasn’t simple case
    All human matters is a maze
    You turned the red lights on…
    The train was blind and saw a haze

    Life gave me gift of you again
    You stayed and listened with your heart
    You didn’t run away from wreck
    You played a loving, tender part

    I’m giving up control of you
    I never had it in first place
    I’ve been silly, blind man
    Who is facing his disgrace

    I’m searching for myself
    I’m making sudden turn
    God has planted seeds in me
    I am to grow them and learn

    I’m giving up control on life
    Pain! Lesson! Opportunity!
    My actions will be only knife
    To carve the sense of whole unity

    Thoughts and actions
    Loyal friends
    As important but plateau
    I will be controlling them
    And the outcome will flow

    My dear lovely loving wife
    You perfect flower on Earth
    You act courageously, with force
    You gentle beauty give a birth

    Plenty, wholesome and different
    Nature planted seeds in you
    Let no one to slow you down
    Let your feelings guide you through

    I’m always nearby
    Burning sun or freezing snow
    My charming lover, trusted friend
    Need a help – look into sky
    I will come and worries go

    Daemons fighting still in me
    They will fail, and in my sole
    Garden with your name on it…

    I’m giving up control

    sounds like a valiant attempt at being valiant- could it be that that is self-defeating.
    do not efface yourself in the background hum.
    it will get louder and the focus will be lost.
    reverse direction.
    shift.
