The Puppet Life

The Puppet Life

A Poem by sushi

I listen to each word of your's,
have I ever been heard???

You argue to be right,
hurting me, you go right.
I turn speechless at your screams,
like a cat hiding from see.

I lost my smile in the past
where I was innocent and small.
I wish to go back to the start
where last of my smile I lost
I wish to undo those mistake
I wish to go back to start
a life as fresh as breeze
as pleasant as tree
as truly me...

I wish to break free of the strings tied on me
fly high and breath free...
I wish to correct the past
from mistakes, first to last...

You present me with tears
each moment, from long...
restricting from having the same on.
The smiles prove fake on me
(the face has lost its glow)
it fits on me no more.
Still I wear a fake smile,
smiling all the way
at an order I could never restrain.

I wish to break-off           all the nerves
to let, flow-out the         blood of slavery
lean back                          to my chair
and rest                               in peace.

Author's Note

sushi
While i was formatting this work, i felt it could be made to give an illusion of a puppet and tried my best on it.

The head, face , the shoulders to the leg is what the para are formatted to make, so only the last para( forming the leg of the puppet has a very large space between the words in a sentence)...

Please give your reviews and ratings....

I didn't notice the puppet formation, nice. It's always cool when people combine writing and art to make magic.

Actually, I like your idea to give the poem an image, I find it experimental and everything new we try is of high value (to me). Apart from that, this is a beautiful poem, a really nice read, and I think it talks about one of those subjects everybody can relate to.

I could figure out you have tried to maybe give an image..I like the idea but got a bit distracted with the background. Other than some minor spell checks and grammar it is a good one.
