The first poem

Dominoes

Take the power from the
control freak,
And what are you left with?
Uncertainty.
Anxiety.
Depression.
Fear.
Loss.
Who knew someone or something held that much influence over a person,
just because
they were so accustomed to
total discipline.
A disruption in that person's
schedule,
Any kind of change at all,
Even for a day,
Can make their dominoes fall.
And then watch the person
Crumble.
The most severe case will
seek professional help.
But someone in the right mind
frame,
Just needs
A hug.
