All and more with his flaws,
This puppet is yet to be finished.

In the midst of a great fortune, he thought.
But those thoughts, with him, diminished.


This puppet no longer a puppet,
For this puppet, no longer there.

A puppet no longer this puppet,
For a puppet was never here…


Everything is perfect,
Because nothing is.
But this puppet was less than that.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I truly love to write and find few people who even acknowledge the things that I write about.
