Poem Artwork



Within this Life of

mine I could not

be a puppet on

String,



And within this

body of mine

I could not have

a make believe heart,



that only would say

I love you only now

and then,



and my every move would

be made by someone else

and I could not make choices

for my Self,



I would be without life

and I would not know

right from wrong,



For I Could Not Be a

Puppet on a String.
