Stanza 5, choose which word fits best please.
And if you read the whole thing through,
what feeling does it evoke?


My heart refuses the truth
As a baby spits out food
The machine rejects the dollar
It's too painful to face

I can't begin to perceive
The pain that threatens to attack;
The magnitude of pain that would ensue
If I couldn't keep the truth from seeping in

I can't think about you
Without feeling the scathing pain
I can no longer view you as release
Now that you are the cause

Why does my tongue get tangled
When I try to tell you how I feel
Yet the lies flow freely
So naturally that it unsettles me

I yearn to [[control/constrain]] your mind
To force you to care for me
I hunger for your heart
To feel any dissolution at my departure

Your indifference razes me like a knife
Slitting my heart into slices
I feel the blade twist inside my skin
My tears are fought back

Sitting through forced conversation
Is comparable only to
Being force-fed furiously and painfully
A block of stale bread

My words are achingly difficult to say
Still, I swallow hesitance down like a giant pill.
I painfully purge these feelings, and you just brush them aside

Out of the two, definitely 'control'. 'Constrain' is more like 'limit' or 'restrict'. 'Wield' is nice, too.

It evokes the feelings it describes. Pain, anxiety, inner turmoil.

It's explicit because of the word swallow.
