Puppets

by ReBecca   Aug 14, 2008


I am a puppet.
I only live by what you decree.
I'll take it all.
Abuse, is part of me.

I need that.
It's all I know.
I am sorry.
I just cant grow.

It's my destiny,
I refuse to change.
It's not always my face
he chooses to rearrange.

It's what I know.
I can handle it.
It's not so bad,
when he don't hit.

Life can be good,
if I don't rock the boat.
It's not a monopoly,
I don't have the vote.

I'll put up with this...
because I am a puppet.
He's got the strings
but I accept it......

    To say the sad truth, I see what my friends say when they say I'm a puppet to my boyfriend. And it's true, sad to say. I wonder and would like to ask you, did you take this out of life experience? Because if you did, its amazing prospect of it, the visionary of it also. You deserve a 5/5

    Although based on horrible events no one should have to experience, in a literary sense, the poem leaves a lot to be desired. It is full of filler words and forced rhyming. A very simple choice of words and the flow was horrible.

    Very interesting subject. I liked the first line, it really grabs your attention, the second line really makes sure you stay.

    I'm glad to see some older writers like myself.

    I'm hoping it's not true, but if it is, then i'm sorry. The only shining light out of that is that you can write amazing poems about it.

    Pretty obvious that we are all puppets at some point in our lives if not for all of it. We do the things we do because we have to and we have no choice in the matter. Excellent job and very true message 5/5 GG23
