Puppet Master

by Restless Envy   Sep 23, 2007


Another lonely night,
Darkness still surrounds,
Wishing to be free,
To these chains I am bound.

Locked into that box,
Kept so safe and whole,
This life that I'm living,
Seems so utterly dull.

My eternal flame burns,
Craving passion and desire,
Wanting to be wanted,
Consumed by the fire.

Eating at this so-called life,
tugging on my strings,
The puppet master has his way,
Chasing away my hopeful dreams.

Dancing to his rhythm,
Moving to his beat,
Jigging to the chorus,
Tapping with my feet.

These uncontrolled reactions,
Lack my personal will,
He forces his movement,
Until he's had his filll.

Shield me from the truth,
Hide me from outside,
Lock me away forever,
I'm lost on this frantic ride.

Dear puppet master,
You cannot control my mind,
You are limited to my limbs,
As I'm sure you will find.

Enjoy your feverish power,
It will not last long,
Your control is limited,
For my will is strong.

One of these days,
I will be free,
Your evil ways,
cannot confine me for eternity.

More to come! Thanks for reading and voting!!
