The Stage: Slashing my Marionette’s Strings

A marionette dances freely within a black background.

My life –before–
resembled that of a large-scale puppet show
with exquisitely decorated marionettes–
strings attached and performing with ease
on society’s stage.

Wooden limbs bobbing up and down.
Ventriloquists magnifying sound,
as an army of eager children
soaked messages in.
