Am I Being Heard?

I feel as a puppet
With some master pulling strings
I have no choice in the matter
He makes me do everything

My voice is small
And one of many countless
There is no knowledge
Of how I can surmount this

My actions are wasted
Tugging at the cords that bind
Dancing to another’s tune
Of music that should be mine

If I shout aloud in a forest
Will I be heard?
Speaking out in this way,
Am I even being heard?

Cut the strings, and make people listen. It's the only way to live life.

Really, really, really liked this one.

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Guy, I hear this heart murmur, I know it because I have one, too. Despite outter noise and ignorance, we ourselves hear it, the gaps and echoes and the wind in the trees.

But the wind is the key before you sing! Breathe deep. Your pen dances.
