I am not a puppet, I can cut these strings you dangle from me.

I can break free and ruin your show, can't you see?

You do not control me, nor define me.

I am not your toy, rather the mere shell of a broken boy.

I am not a puppet, you do not own me.

I am human, born to be free.

Stop the act, it's not big, nor is it clever.

You will not manipulate me when I am under the weather.

I am not a puppet, I am released from your grasp.

Now I live at peace.

Alas.
