You're always with me, you hold such power.
I'm reminded by you hour after hour.

You stress me, caress me, try to impress me.
From that I sometimes want to flee.

When I try to run away, you follow me, never stray.
It seems you insist on getting your way.

You choose my lovers, enemies, and friends.
Some things you cause, I must defend.

You whisper, shout, cry, and sing, without you I can't do a thing.
There are times when all you do is sting.

You put my mind in a daze, sometimes set my body ablaze.
Only rarely do you ever praise.

With you I have argued, begged, plotted, and fought.
I wish I cared naught for my thought.
