Puppet

do a little dance
if i do it wrong I get hurt
not by hard fists
nor by stinging hands
but by words
some unspoken, some unneeded

painted on mask
don't let it break
if it does the more I'll break
the more you'll take
you never have enough

shut down, lock down
throw away the key
no one need to the see
the little puppet
who is becoming me
