Are you under someone’s control?

Your puppeteer’s hiding
Attached many strings
Too controlling
Difficulty in moving

At own will
Empty fill
Strange pill
Battle’s uphill

Steep slope
Rough rope
How to cope
Minimal scope
Need to unrope

Suffocated under your control
Do you think you’re whole?
Seems like I’m on a parole
Your soul’s full of hole

Nobody’s happy
with your
toxic personality
Let us be free
Can’t you see?
We ain’t a honeybee
We are meant to be
Free as the sea
Strong as the tree

Stop your puppetry
This ain’t custody
Your redundancy
Reflects culpably
