A King's Puppet
December 6, 2012
I was a torturer
One with no family and no peace
Like a hidden child,
Secretive, shadowed.
Silenced and locked away
Until the day I was set free,
taken into the world of one who obeys their king.
I became somebody's puppet
to do with as he commanded,
a prisoner.
In one of many wars I fought,
this form of mine died,
Completely impaled by a spike of pain.
After, I wandered aimlessly, obeying my king
Then, I found a form again
and I found something more,
belonging.
I disobeyed my king.
