Marionette Doll

My dresses, my songs, my laughter

Are all just illusion

My play pretend happy

The painted on smile

And my blue glass eyes

Beauty can make quite

A lovely concealment,

Don't you think?

I twirl

I dance

I'm happy

I'm happy

Don't you see this smile

I'm happy

I'm perfect

Not an object out of place

Not a loose hair in sight

My life is a stage

Don't let them see behind the curtain

Marionette strings

Or a hanged man's noose?
