The puppets don't know
They're getting played like a fiddle
They think they are
The kings & queens
And take pride in the roles they portray
But to the spectators,
They're just mere court jesters;
An entertainment to the crowd,
Pulled by the strings
Of the hidden, talented puppet master

-

What if I say
I hate the person I've become?
What if I feel
I've done injustice to my past selves?
What if I look back in time
And regret the fights I didn't take up?
What if I am
Indeed the worser version of myself?

-

All the people who couldn't make it..
Yet, here you are still..
Thriving..
And alive..

-

The laughter will die down
Fade will thy arrogant smiles
For every win undeserving
Is not a win at all!

Proud stands the warriors
Overlooking a naive crowd;
The ones who disowned them,
The ones they fought for...

An illicit alliance was made
To bring down a wave of revolution
But the comrades will not rest or tire
Till the truth shines out bright as fire

-

Is it love
Or is it me craving love?
Do I like him
Or do I like the attention?
Is it meant to be
Or am I making it to be?
When I catch myself smiling at his texts
Am in love
Or am I in love with his words?
When I feel his laughter ring in my ears
Am I happy
Or am I just tryna be?

-

I try not to bother
But then I'm a loner
They say I'm not good enough;
Say I prefer being by myself
Ungrateful!
But what I should be grateful for?
I don't know..
A chance?
A chance I didn't ask for..
I try
Try to be what everyone wants me to be
Yet, I fall;
I fail
And amidst all this,
I ask myself everyday
What am I doing wrong?

-

Feel like breaking something
But I can't afford it
So guess I'll just break myself instead

-

Goodbyes and broken wings
You taught me to fly
And took away my purpose for it

-

I remember when I was the brightest star
In your night sky
And now I'm just a nobody

-

From seeing your face every morning
To not seeing you at all,
We grew apart.
