Marionette

What shall I become
this time around?
A mindless beauty
for you to push about?
Or how about a jester
for you to make fun?
It is always the same
when it comes to you.
I am always just a pawn
played in your big game of chess.
So how about a cowgirl?
You can take me for a ride.
Or maybe a French maid,
you can see to it
that the chores get done.
I am your gene.
I grant every wish.
I am a motionless delicacy
whose blood drips endlessly
from the tip of your knife.
So what will I be next?
Please let me know,
because I am the puppet
putting on your show.

Powerful Stuff!

The writer says so much here. Its interesting how we think others percieve us, and how we ourselves percieve things.

I sympathise with the plight of the 'subject' . Its horrible to feel others think of you this way, or indeed be treated in this manner.
