Breath of Life
Control your feelings,
And you will have shadows in your heart.
Control your ambitions,
And you will be nothing in life.
Control your words,
And you will silence your ideas.
Control your emotions,
And you will always keep them inside you.
Control your desires,
And you will create frustrations in your life.
Control your anxieties,
And you will have tears in your eyes.
Control your gestures,
And you will live a false life.
Control yourself, always control yourself...
And you will never be YOU.
London. at home, 1986

WHO AM I?
