It finally crossed my mind,
that thought
I tried hard to hide.
What use am I when
every day I seem to be
swimming against the tide?
Would it not be better
for everyone if
I was to disappear
to have my strings
cut by my puppeteer.
The very one that makes
my life a challenge,
who has left me feeling
lost, alone and unhinged.
But how could that be
better when I know it
would break their hearts,
to let the puppeteer win
would only be the start.
I would be giving him
exactly what he wants,
the access to more souls
for him to haunt.
There is only one
way that he loses,
that’s for me to confront him
and let him know
it’s me who chooses.
I shall embrace
the love I have forsaken
and win back the life
that was nearly taken.

Shows strength

Great words, I really do enjoy your writing, although the puppet was a bit scary 👍

This set me thinking! To let go or to hold on and make it to the end! I wonder.
