Puppet

A farce has been written,
Many were the roles.
Without my consent,
The choice has been made.

A puppet,
I don't want to be.
Bounded by the strings,
Never free.

Onto the stage I go,
My actions all controlled.
Unseen manipulator
Directed the whole show.

A puppet,
I don't want to live.
Jerked and yanked,
All my life.

Why do I have to die?
It's all in the script so cry.
A villain meets his end
And down the curtain came.

A puppet,
I don't want to be.
Forgotten in time,
A discarded, broken toy.
