Puppet Master

Being manipulated...

Marionette

puppet controlled 

by other hands

pulling strings

and making me dance

to a music 

I don't understand. 

Even Pinocchio got to choose.

But not me, 

always being tugged,

manipulated

into doing things,

saying things that

are unnatural

as a puppet 

on a string.

Very nice poem.

Great job on this one. I really like the simple lines because they held so much power by themselves. Keep it up!
