I have this recurring nightmare
that I am trying to drive a car
from the backseat.
Maybe it's a metaphor
for my lack of control.
I have an OCD soul,
perfectionism
courses through my veins.
I want to run
every aspect of my life,
even the things
I have no power over.
This causes trouble
in my relationships
and in my own
emotional well-being.
Maybe it would be
good if I took
the backseat
every once in a while.
