Everyone controls me and doesn’t give a damn.
I lie limp until someone pulls my string,
then alive I become to do everything.

I can be their servant when they want,
and then their plaything to taunt.
Just a pull at a string and away I go.
I never get any recognition not even a hello.

No one loves puppets, they just sit alone.
But we aren’t all similar like a clone.
Puppets have feelings too,
We need love, yes it’s true.

Without us who would do your work?
What if we just stayed in the shadows to lurk?
You need me around,
To me you are bound.

I control myself not you,
All this time you never realised I grew.
You are the puppet and I am my master.
I will pluck at your strings and you will move faster.

Puppet on a string

A puppet on a string is what I am.
Everyone controls me and doesn’t give a damn.
I lie limp until someone pulls my string,
then alive I become to do everything.

I can be their servant when they want,
and then their plaything to taunt.
Just a pull at a string and away I go.
I never get any recognition not even a hello.

No one loves puppets, they just sit alone.
But we aren’t all similar like a clone.
Puppets have feelings too,
We need love, yes it’s true.

Without us who would do your work?
What if we just stayed in the shadows to lurk?
You need me around,
To me you are bound.

I control myself not you,
All this time you never realised I grew.
You are the puppet and I am my master.
I will pluck at your strings and you will move faster.

Brilliant. True expression of feelings. I am sure many teenagers feel the same way. Well written, keep it up!

Noone.

I often feel like this, to take control when feel weak is hard, good expression of how you are feeling,
