The Marionette’s Song
My limbs are light, my hands are free,147Please respect copyright.PENANAYJu9MGb3rr
yet unseen strings still tether me.147Please respect copyright.PENANAhr1LRBY3r3
I dance, I bow, I play my part,147Please respect copyright.PENANAKzcIaCTguQ
a silent tune within my heart.
The puppeteer, with hollow eyes,147Please respect copyright.PENANA0RQNmHVUHj
tilts his head and pulls the ties.147Please respect copyright.PENANAVUONawnh6q
I twist, I turn, I rise, I fall,147Please respect copyright.PENANAoHYOoQbDFo
a willing slave, a willing thrall.
And though I try to break away,147Please respect copyright.PENANAVyG9TNVFU3
the strings remain—I beg to stay.
