I am a puppet, wooden with strings.
Look how I dance, laugh, and sing

Society controls me with their thoughts and cliques
Thinking of it makes me sick.

I don't want to become one of them
But my lips are sewn shut like a hem

I am a puppet. I have no say
My strings of hope are stedfast and will stay

They think I'm stupid cause I'm made of wood
I want to be free. I know I should

They want me to be popular and cool
But acting like I'm not makes me look like a fool

But the puppet master says "Dance, Puppet, Dance! He said with a grin.
I know this struggle. I know I wont win.

I finish the dance with a finishing pose.
How will I get free? Only God knows....

I don't want to go off on a screaming fit, so I will sit here thinking about your message, trying to contain my rage at what socity is. I will not yell about our stupid world, I will contain my veiws about the stupid GAME we play. I will not say that THIS IS SO TRUE AND NO ONE EVER DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!

no i'll just say good write Zach. this is going in my library
