PUPPET STAND

Staying true to me
I am learning to do
Staying true to me
a must I will pursue

Know what sickeningly saddens me?
Evilness continuously pouncing back
Water on her fire; extinguishing her decree
Silence, control: that’s your agenda track

Don’t these people understand?
You want me to be a puppet
This I will no longer withstand
I will speak my words; I found my trumpet

So, you see
This is the sad part
You won’t get all of me
Trying to silence me; where is your heart?

Don’t you know I realize
Your life is so superficial
Some do as they please
For me, life is one show; not a commercial

So, this is my plan
Chin up; shoulders back
Stand up; yes I can
No longer a potato sack

Hopping on the freedom freeway
Giving baggage back to the cruel ones
This is your comeback payday
Now I am free; going for the home runs

Don’t tell them everything
They choose to not understand
Their life; a business transaction string
They can keep their superficial band

Chin up, carry on
I am rebuilding my life
And for you; I am not your pawn
No longer a contestant in your evil strife

No longer your puppet …
