I feel like a puppet.
That's on display,
Or a marrionette,
That can't get away.
So when the puppeteer pulls,
I dance and sing.
Until my conscience dulls,
As I folllow the string.
I'm stuck in this place,
With no where to go.
With a mask over my face,
As I'm part of this show.
I can't seem to escape,
This cherade that I'm in.
But how do i get out,
And where should I begin.
I hide all my feelings,
So that they never show.
And the bitterness inside me,
I simply let grow.
Until it becomes unbearable,
And theres nothing to do.
But to try to end this play,
That all my life Ive been trough.
I'll start a knew life,
With no end in sight,
And wont have to worry,
About whats wrong and right.
No one telling what to do,
Or who i'm supposed to be,
I don't have to hide myself,
So others can't see.
For now, and only now,
I can truly be ME!

my sentiments exactly......go for it!  Cut those puppet strings and dance on your own!
Great thoughts, and enjoyed much!

The music is playing...the dance begins

makes no difference where you are,
anything your heart desires,
will come to you..." --Jiminy Crickett, singing to Pinocchio.
