Puppet

I am your puppet

I must do as you say

You pull my strings

And I must obey

 

I am your china doll

You turn the key

And I dance to the music

For all to see

 

I am your pawn

In your own chess game

You take the credit

But I take the blame

 

I am your plaything

Until you get bored

Then what will my pain

Have been for?

 

I wish I could escape you

But the rope is tightly wound

I am lost inside myself

Will I ever be found?

 

I hide in the light

Yet no one sees me

You hold me captive

I will never be free
