Marionette

Upright.

Marionette smile plastered on a crumbling face

But

Still

Upright.

 

Brain full of tears

Dreams dashed to no more

Doll parts scattered

On

The

Dirty floor

 

Strings snipped

Giving hideous freedom

Amongst the carnage

Arms

Legs

Smiles

 

Eyes still watch the show

Seeing a beautiful doll

Bald but brave

None

See

The

Tears.
