Puppets' Tears
May 18, 2017
Swaying, swaying,
Left and right,
our motions stiff
but we can't comply.
Strings, strings
Up high here,
Tightening our souls
They are everywhere
Flopping, dropping,
Here and there
We're limp from all
The tears and wears
Loose buttons,
Raggedy dolls,
we're stuffed with wool
But we're far from full
Staring, staring,
Back at them
They gave us life
Yet far from lively
Hiding, hiding
By the shelves
Racking up dust
And waiting for him
We wish, We wish
We are somebody
No one's puppet
Not a life-time
Dummy
