Faceless Puppet

Thoughtless in your ways

And blinded with eyes wide open.

Repressed by many,

Yet your allegiance to enslavement holds strong.

Insensibility aiding your ignorance,

Abiding to a world that forsakes any who step out of line.

Crucifying the dreamers.

Condemning the believers.

Accustomed to the 'as is'.

Forced beliefs,

   Spineless convictions,

       Mindless creeds.

Pathetic fools,

   Simpleminded idiots,

       Oblivious to your strings.

Strings that hold you down,

Bind you to the ground,

And wrap around you neck.

So unaware of the noose you created for yourself.

One, they will gladly use to hang you with

Then be discared into a pit of flame and fire.

After all, you're just another

Nameless,

   Faceless

       Puppet

In their play of

   Pain and pleasure,

   Sins and secrets.

Congratulations,

You're a no body and mean nothing

To a deceptive world soaked in lies and illusions.

"to a deceptive world soaked in lies and illusions." oh the conformity of what society thinks we should be. i see this as a big F-U to that, and i have to stand by it. i had to read this a few times, simply because i enjoyed it that much. cut the strings and be yourself before your choked with them in a world that doesnt care about you, only that you care about the "right" things. thats what i took from it anyway. loved it

Thank you so much :) What you took away from it is exactly what I was trying to portray.
