"The Puppet Show"
Mount the stair while
Lights shine brilliantly.
In the spotlight
but only for 15 mere minutes of
your life.
Take a close look at
your visage, your costume.
When will you ever realize
that you are
disillusioned in thinking
you are a
simple puppet?
Fate, your puppeteer,
commands you to dance,
but you cannot pick
the tune.
You cannot realize
your individuality.
No, you must paint
a lie across your face
and tell the world
how helpless you are.
Your strings tether
you to false hope,
strife, agaony, and
tears stream down
your hollow cheeks.
All your life you've
lived this lie and
believed that you
could not choose your
path.
Carpe Diem! Afterall,
all the world's a stage.
