A broken marionette
April 11, 2014
I am a walking doll. Day in and day out I do what people command. Go to school, do your homework, get a job, tell me you love me. Everyone has a firm grasp on my invisible strings. Trying to bend me to there will. Make me into the image they see fit. And just like a doll once I'm of no use ill be thrown out with the rest of the trash. My chest is empty and my face is cracked. Yet I will not cry. A toy has been built for no emotion. Its only purpose in life is to pleases and make others happy. I am a doll I have no soul.
