Puppet + Puppeteer

by Drew Gold   Jan 15, 2006


Here, help me be myself.
I'm a glitch stuck on
pause waiting to talk,

and my lips are open wide
wide open to let you
sing for me, baby

im either dead or lost
and i think this is what i want,
inside

inside
of you, and i
i feel,
so bleary eyed

and my mind's
a dollar sign,
so eat me up;
prove my worth.

take your pick;
personality
changes quick
and out of me
drifts

to fall on my lips
as sobs and we kiss.

    Good write; I found it an interesting read and original. Maybe think about better punctuation use and capitalise "I," this will neaten it up and make it grammatically correct. I don't know about you but I feel when "I" is not capitalised the poem appears messy. Keep writing.

    I really loved this poem although very different than I would have written.

    "to fall on my lips
    as sobs and we kiss."

    This ending, the flow of the words was just superb. Thanks for posting on my work!

    Wow. Just plain wow. At first the structure made me stutter but once I got the flow of it, it became my favourite part. So many themes and messages all compressed to fit the title so well. The last few lines 'take your pick;
    personality
    changes quick
    and out of me
    drifts

    to fall on my lips
    as sobs and we kiss.'

    Those lines just have such beautiful imagery. Aw now look what you've done! You got me all inspired. Great piece.
