Little Miss Marionette

Wry puppet princess just cut her strings;
Why comply and then be held captive?
Damselfly on her free wrist whispers   
‘Defy and let go of what’s submissive.’

Purge this Little Miss Marionette,
surge solo and secure the spotlight;
Splurge on a diamond encrusted crown,
emerge ready to claim your birthright.
