Forgotten Puppet


I am a puppet, pluck my strings.

You can make me dance and even sing.

A painted on face with a pretty smile,

Can hide how I feel, if just for a while.

Watch as the paint chips and fades away,

My bright green eyes turn to gray.

Feeling thrown in a corner and forgotten,

My feelings inside making me feel rotten.

I know I am loved, I shouldn't feel feel this way.

My heart is calling out, hoping to be needed today.
