Brake Waves

Brake Waves


These suppressed
urges
that currently
seek to dominate me

Straining to break free
from controlled
captivity

Clever rationalizations
weaving a web
around my
wavering conscience

They must be contained

Constantly restrained

or the residue
of my desires
will eventually
destroy me

and the life
that
I cherish

Respect the
consequences

Follow the path

Play by the rules

Cause we can't 
always do
what we want
to do
