I will never again be
your puppet on a string,
you think you are the puppet master
who can make me do anything.

Now the strings are breaking
just what are you going to do?
You no longer have control
I'm not controlled by you.

You used to pick me up
then suddenly let me fall,
but I'm not falling anymore
I'm standing proud and tall.

You think your the puppet master
but your strings are no longer holding me,
It seems I've finally learned to cut them
now my heart is free.




On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

What a way to make it clear that you can hold your own and don't need a master.

Inot, for me when I wrote this poem it was a release of many emotions that had just simmered for a very long time.  Poetry....can be such a release sometimes.  Thank you for reading.
