The Lyrical Hold, a Million Dollars Story, Danced By a Marionette

The Lyrical Hold, A Million Dollars Story, Danced by a Marionette 

the manipulating privilege of possession
is all yours 
i do not prevent my undue bending knee
but, place it where it is forced 
enclose in its captivity
are swan like performances 
dancing as a Marionette 
flowing in a air of blood stained  counted measurements 
with graceful silent nightmares of custom influences
raw shaking wings can not
take to heavenly Flight 
but are now cursed and weaken 
by Celebrity like demonic god, admirers 
hovering over a lifeless non-moving string puppet      
 
pull me this way, and i lift my arm
wiggle me this way 
and i will, scream out no alarm 
dress me as, cute as a clown 
hand on back, neck held straight
and i will certainly dance it your way 
lyric to lyric, cheek to cheek
held in a million dollar captivity 
for not one single soul to see
