A puppet on a string.



The puppet on a string.

You give me the hope that I need and the help to cope with it. Without you by my side, who am I? Just a puppet on a string with nowhere to go; please take the strings and show me where I should go. Only you know the way, and you don't make any mistakes, for heaven's sake. I'm at your command, so take the strings so I may walk again.

About this poem
