Janet Eaton Poet I do not know?

Puppet With No Sound

I let you take my smile
And turn it to a frown

I let you take my heart
And throw it on the ground

I let you take the things I’ve done
And make them not so proud

I let you have control of me
Like a puppet with no sound

Today I plan to take control
And turn this frown around

Today I plan to heal my heart
And pick it off the ground

Today I plan to find my honor
And acknowledge to all that I am proud

Today I plan to cut the strings
Of this puppet with no sound.
