Puppet

You see what I can do
Telling me what you expect
Feeding me the words to say
A student learning all your will

Listen to the words I speak
Why are you pulling away?
You tell me to behave
Put my feet back on the ground

What good is it being me?
If all I am is your puppet
A character in your dreams
Like a morning cartoon

I have feelings too
Stop yelling at me
Telling me I'm wrong
My way will never work

Have you seen the mirror?
The person staring back at you
Who's pulling your strings?
How does it feel?

What good is it being me?
If all I am is your puppet
A rainbow above the mist
Seen only when I cry
