Oh, puppet on a string so tight,
Dancing to a tune not of your own,
Your fate a mystery in the night,
As you dance and twirl, all alone.
But fear not, for there is hope,
A pair of scissors to set you free,
To help you find your destined scope,
And make your own reality.
No longer will you dance and sway,
To someone else's master plan,
For you now hold the power to play,
And create your life as you can.
The unknown may be daunting,
But don't let fear control your soul,
For with each step, you'll be flaunting,
Your newfound strength and self-control.
So take those scissors with great pride,
And cut those strings that hold you tight,
Embrace the journey that's inside,
And let your spirit take to flight.
No longer just a puppet on display,
But a soul with a purpose and desire,
With each new dawn, a brand new day,
And a legacy to leave for those to admire.
So fear not the unknown ahead,
For you hold the key to your fate,
With each step forward, fear will shed,
And a new path you shall create.
