The Puppet Master
February 19, 2014
It feels like fire
defending itself against the air;
Exhausted and breathless.
It's working,
I hope it's working.
Maybe they're right, maybe
I'm persistent
in my own denial.
It soon won't matter,
as they soon will no longer
Believe themselves.
It feels like puppeteering;
leading the weak
into my controlling hand.
They have a false sense of security.
I'm not so bad anymore, am I darling?
No, I'm not bad at all.
