Control Not

tyrone peck 1963 (Kerrville Tex)



I control not you control not me.my ways
My thoughts and my intentions are that of
My own heart my own mind and my own spirit.
Please do not attempt to control me or
Convince me of yours.mine are bound in
Stone and I cannot be swayed.i also will
Not attempt to sway you.i appreciate you
For who you are.your placement in life is
Your own.my placement in life is my own.it
Is good and also a must that we carry our
Placements in life with us.so that we can
Stay within our own comfort zone.but
Attempt to sway me or me you.that takes us
Away from there.accept me for who I am and
Whom I will become.i promise no less than
The same from me by one hand or the other.
You cannot share true togetherness without
First finding and developing your own
Individuality.
