5/22/2018 0 Comments Strings by QuillerYou feed off of insecurity and despair Devour sensitivity and low self-esteem And feel strength only when others feel weak You poke at flesh Looking for places where you can manipulate Tie hidden strings to control what you think is yours What happens when the puppet wakes up?
Learns that vulnerability makes her whole? And that her heart is not made of wood? Cuts the strings? Melts the tethering cord? And leaves the theatre? This might cause you to starve Having lost the pain that feeds you Being forced to migrate Unto your next victim This puppet does not need to be liked by her master any longer She will not be isolated by her own silence Will not be tortured for stolen moments of solace And will never again be punished for the feelings that rain from her painted eyes
