Don’t be a puppet on a string. – Michelle Liew

🪆🪡🧵🎭🕴️🪆🎭🪢🪆🧵🪆🪡🧵🎭🕴️🪆🎭🪢🪆🧵

They tugged my strings

With sugar-covered hands

I moved on cue.

🪆🪡🧵🎭🕴️🪆🎭🪢🪆🧵🪆🪡🧵🎭🕴️🪆🎭🪢🪆🧵

Till one day, 

I stayed. 

Wood cracked.

🪆🪡🧵🎭🕴️🪆🎭🪢🪆🧵🪆🪡🧵🎭🕴️🪆🎭🪢🪆🧵

Truth within shattered splinters

I ran away,

Unscathed.

Now I prance

With the flowers in the breeze,

To no song but mine.
