Dance puppet dance
I have you just where I want you
By the seat of your pantd
Dance puppet dance, you're not in control
When I pull the strings, I possess your soul
Move according to my will
Until I let go of the strings and you remain still
Dance puppet dance
Make me laugh at what I see
Knowing that you are lifeless without me
Dance puppet and wish that you were free
Bow down to me, kneel down at my feet
Where you're supposed to be
Dance puppet dance
Don't you wish you have
The same control over me?
**I wrote this poem over two decades ago. It is representative of how at times we allow ourselves to
be manipulated by others not excluding Satan, the master of manipulation. If you are currently in a situation that makes you feel like you are being used, taken for granted or unappreciated for the wonderful child of God you are, GET OUT ASAP! Whether its a job, a family member, friend or a relationship where your love and care are not reciprocated. By natue, I am a very caring and compassionate person and at times, that has been my down fall to allow myself to be treated less than what I deserve. Then one day out of the blue, I had an epiphany. I was so focused on my feelings/love I had for the other person, instead of focusing on how little they cared for me. The best thing to do is take all of the love, time and attention and redirect towards yourself. Once you realize that you deserve the best and you begin loving yourself flaws and all, you will never feel the need to be who or what someone else wants you to be. The best part is that you will always have love in your life because you have decided to love yourself.
