The Living Puppet

June 10, 2014

I am a living man

Or am I a puppet trying to reach expectations I can't fulfill?

I am a man that leads

Or do I make mistakes constantly never finding solutions?

Just standing still as I'm tied up to the future of the life that is wanted for me

I never wanted this life

Or did I?

As I am trying to achieve things that I don't want I hear silence as I search for answers

God is it really you are you trying to punish me or open my eyes to see a picture?

Please cut me free of the strings of success as I want to fly free and never worry about a thing

I want to be able to live my life on my time and by my rules...

It's hard to do all these things at once but I have to remember

Im a leader

Or am I?

And I have to remember I'm a living man

Or am I just a puppet?
