Control freaks love
to rearrange things
that aren’t broken.
Nothing’s perfect
without their input and devotion.
They need to feel needed
as absolutely essential.
They think the world will stop spinning
without their expert potential.
If you’re in any way efficient
they will resent you
they will thwart your work
upturning and undoing
all your exhausted effort.
They will make you redo
what was finally finished.
What a waste of time
and your alternative mind.
Logic will not work on them
they’ll insist on the last spoken word.
The only options are to leave them
or play deaf, dumb or absurd.
I once ended up quitting a job because the boss was a total control freak.

Sometimes I think that’s what they want. People are replaceable to them. I get stressed but choose to vent through poems. I’m going to try to not take it personally, nothing else I can do. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
