The Illusion of Control

An Egoistic Verse

The Illusion of Control

We think we're in control, our fate in our hand,

A delusion of grandeur, our ego's demand,

We plan and plot, yet life has its own course,

We fight and resist, a struggle in force,

The illusion of control, an absurd command.

About the Creator

R.Freya

Poetry is my soul's language, and I wield words like a paintbrush. From heartbreak to hope, I capture emotions and spin them into verse.
