PUPPET

i wake up in a body that is not mine who tied these strings to my bones and made me dance -– there are eyes i cannot see but they see me whispersofverses.com for more i guess they weigh me down with their silence with their judgment -– the mirror whispers you are not enough not the face not the heart not the soul it spits back what i already know -– how do you live when your shadow feels like a stranger when the voice in your head is your worst enemy -– they tell me to love myself but how can i when my reflection is a war zone when every piece of me is a battle lost -– the walls are closing in the masks are smiling the strings are pulling and i am breaking -– but no one notices because my cracks are silent
