The Puppet
My eyes are glass,
my chest is so cold.
My body is wood,
I just do as I'm told.
I used to be real,
with a heart and a soul.
I used to have friends,
now I do as i'm told.
My body won't move,
unless strings are pulled.
I can no longer speak,
I just do as I'm told.
My head is now empty,
it's harder to think.
I did have a name,
now I do as I'm told.
There are others like me,
on the shelves growing mold.
I see them around me,
and they do what they're told.
My master is coming,
and I hope she picks me.
But I hear her say no,
so I do as I'm told.
What happened to life,
all my dreams and my goals?
I no longer remember,
I just do as I'm told..
