I am words marionette
words wake me up
shake me up
insist on having their way
I am the marionette
they are my puppet masters
They are insistent and persistent
I follow their lead
I am their minion
They laugh at my plight, loving their power
words wear the crown
wield the power
write the edicts
dictate what will happen before and beyond
they declare and decide
demand and command
I am their play dough, their blank canvas
Words maneuver, manipulate and word-handle me
My muse laughs at my consternation
