call me your puppet

and snip my strings

for i have seven, respectively

one for my head

two for my hands

two for my feet

one for my heart

and one for my mouth -

they are called

LUST for knowledge;

GREED for your skin;

WRATH in thrown punches and lit matches and blood and middle fingers;

SLOTH-like motivation;

VANITY of my light footsteps like deer hooves;

ENVY of people who aren't ******* anxious all the time and ******* down coffee all day;

GLUTTONY of unnecessary words.
