“Puppet”

~ Jai Lynn

I am a puppet.

Here are my arms.
Here are my legs.
There are my strings
as you make me dance
for your entertainment.

I am a puppet.

Let my mouth open.
Let my cheeks laugh.
Make my strings
sing out in my voice
with words that are not my own.

I am a puppet.

Free will was
is
and will never be
mine.

Name's Jai Lynn, Jai like blue jay and Lynn which rhymes with sin. Speaking of sins, life is too short to not do what you're passionate about. So, I'm going to write. Welcome to my domain of poetry, short fiction, and (if you look for it) a little magic too.
