He Is

New to the game
He was tired
Had enough
Disorientated
He felt like a target
Made a good puppet

But puppets love to dance
Around the strings that bind them
And puppets won't feel pain
Unless they let them
So puppets mimic life
While trying to find the key to live it
And puppets only die
From learning how to defy it

He fell flat on his face
Too many times
To know anything else
So he crawled in the sand
And built a castle
And he laid it with gems
Which sparkled in the sun
But inside was dense
And saw no-one

And as the days passed
He tried all he could
To feel like this worked
But as the nights passed
And the days turned to weeks
He crawled underground
And forgot how to see

He really lived all he could
In his own shoes
Out of anyone's reach
But oh how he wished
His walls were ones they could breach
