Marionette

I am a marionette
amongst humans;
I lack strings;
maybe I wasn't even worthy
of soulless control.
I am jealous
of the ease people possess
in the way they live
because I attempt to master it daily
and fail miserably
after all
I am just a puppet.
An abandoned puppet.

I am a poser
trying to act natural;
My reality is of an invader;
this isn't my place;
I do not belong.

I'll hand over my strings
in exchange for freedom
from this gloomy existence.
The marionettist might take my life
but may teach me how to live.
