Shaking the soda can is such a good way to describe things.

Sometimes,
holding on doesn’t preserve anything,
it only delays the inevitable,
Control is an illusion that tightens its grip the harder you hold,
while release speaks the truth,
that nothing was ever truly yours to contain.

Shaking the soda can is such a good way to describe things. It will be sure to explode eventually. Great poem and commentary at the end.
