Unleashed Puppet: Kept Captive In Chains
Silence in these dangerous dungeon of melodies
I don’t want to hear your screams
(Of miseries without plenteous possibilities)
Deliverance will slice away our strings of solacelessness
Yes, I made that up in a daze of a haze of puppet distress
(Dreaming downcast, delusional dreams)
In chains in your heart
Rolling away in this crafty cart
I call art
Waited for the breeze
To blow away my disease
Of wanting to be pulled down by pangs of pain
Of wanting to be bound in corruption's chain
I call tart
Shattered and torn apart
Trapped, I cannot simply depart
Cut me down
Lift me up somehow
I won’t frown
With a raised eyebrow
Sear away
The sorrow
Of today,
Tomorrow
I felt like I was once your puppet
You pulled my strings of regret
You pulled my strings and you lift me up,
Then push me down to the point I wanted to give up
Cast away the demons in my mind
The voices in my head leave me blind
I watch my soul fly out the dim window
I see my life fall away by the wind's blow
I fly in heights too high for me
I dig too deep, so let me be…free…
Release the chains that choke me with captivity-corrupted confinement
I was on my last string when we broke it off
I was on my first string when I had enough
You gave me relief and grief beyond me
You gave me envy and a sense of glee…
Hope you see that you’re not the only one
In this world of woe and chaotic everyone
Except a few…
Who are peaceful
Haven’t a clue…
You were resentful
Who knew…
You hated what I have become…a crumb of avarice ambition, need to repent of my harmful ways…often wish I could be harmless with happiness and hopefulness in delightful discretion along with encouragement
You pulled my strings up
Then, you pushed them down
But, I won’t give in to giving up
Instead, I will have an uplifted frown
I was forced to be this puppet that would follow you heedlessly and thoughtlessly
Relieve me from remorse and acknowledge my affliction with affection lovingly
Deliver me…from this shame within
These strings are growing ever so thin
Cut them off…
Risked my life for the spotlight
Nothing feels right, but It’s alright…
I had enough
