Reena’s Xploration Challenge #238 – puppet on a string

Like a puppet on a string

I do what I was told to do

Gracefully asprawl on cue

I dance, fight or even sing

Can’t leave for I have no wing

Feeling I just have to go through

Like a puppet on a string

I do what I was told to do

One day I promise to fling

Free from all this I flew

Just be me hope that’s true

See what the future can bring

Like a puppet on a string*
