Marionette
I am not anymore controlled by your manipulative strings.
Freeing myself from you; my dictator who imprisoned me for a year.
You can’t put me on stage and do the most unwanted things.
I can’t be bent by your power; for I have nothing to fear.
Your theatrical works deftly let me lose control.
I will not portray the character that once you used to own.
A chance to take my life back; I’m taking my soul
and you have no choice but to leave me alone.
The hand-carved doll finally tastes his liberty for good.
Perhaps we can end it in a contract and close;
But I should have shut it down long ago when I could.
This time I play no more roles and I will repose.
No one else can tie their barbed thread on my body.
I control my life and I will not allow somebody.
