I am a puppet
Walking through rain
Everyone stares at me
Because I am strange
Stuck in a lonely world
The only one
I used to be normal
But that time is done
I gave up trying
Because no one accepted
And now on the inside
I am mentally dead
I've lost everything
That once was mine
I've lost it all
Passing time
I carry sadness
I carry despair
I carry it always
Everywhere
I try to get rid
Of the things that haunt me
No matter what I do
They will always find me
I am a puppet
And I will admit
The happiness I want
I will never get

This piece is an edited version of an earlier poem I wrote. I was originally going to call it marionette. I decided to go with puppet because it is more attuned to my personality
