PUPPET

i wake up

in a body

that is not mine

who tied these strings

to my bones

and made me dance

-–

there are eyes

i cannot see

but they see me

whispersofverses.com for more i guess

they weigh me down

with their silence

with their judgment

-–

the mirror whispers

you are not enough

not the face

not the heart

not the soul

it spits back

what i already know

-–

how do you live

when your shadow

feels like a stranger

when the voice in your head

is your worst enemy

-–

they tell me

to love myself

but how can i

when my reflection

is a war zone

when every piece of me

is a battle lost

-–

the walls are closing in

the masks are smiling

the strings are pulling

and i am breaking

-–

but no one notices

because my cracks

are silent
