Nothing But A Puppet

I am nothing but a puppet,
A thing that you control.
A simple wooden toy,
I do not have a soul.

I am nothing but a puppet,
Someone to do your bidding.
Your demands from my body,
Relentless, unforgiving.

I am nothing but a puppet,
Your fingers pull my strings.
They pull in all directions,
Twisting, tangling.

I am nothing but a puppet,
My strings down by my sides,
Trailing closely right behind me,
My eternally bounding ties.
In response to a request from sakunokishimori for their wonderful piece Just Why Did I Do That?.. by sakunokishimori

I had a lot of  ideas for this artwork, but I didn't want to go with the 'obvious'. Instead, I decided to write about the theme of their work, which for me, was the theme of 'choice'.

If you are interested in having something written for you (free!) please comment on this journal fav.me/d7d5uqd :)
