Puppet

Puppet:

Undress me 
Standing naked before you, what do you see?
Is it the same as me.. 
Do you hate me as much as I do? 

I stare at myself in the mirror and I hate my reflection. 

                Fog fills the room. 
                      Right hand
                         Palm up
                  Smear the image

Now I don't speak in the physical sense keep that in mind. 

I speak about the beast that hides within. 
He plays my emotions and thoughts. 
                        
                       I am a slave
              A puppet to the master
                   I have no control
                    There is no end 

The mind numbing pain is endless and eternal. 
    Death is something we all cannot escape
             How will you choose to live?
