Ive got a million different personalities
So go on take your pick
Am I bubbly and girly?
Or a sad emo chick?
Am I blonde or brunette?
Are my eyes brown or blue?
I'm not bella poarch
The choice is up to you
I can be introverted if thats you like
Or maybe a social butterfly
I can be anything anything at all
So go on dont be shy
I am a puppet
You pull the strings
Dress me up
Do as you please
JU...
Strings.
Holding my smile up.
Keeping my laughter.
Making me seem fine.
Ha.
I havenāt been fine in a long time.
I smile.
I bet I seem happy.
Healthy.
Butā¦ nah.
If those strings brokeā¦
Ha.
My sanity breaks.
Everything keeping me sane gone.
Iād probably just break completely.
Oh.
You have a question?
Who holds these strings.
Hmm.
I wish I knew.
Is it my family?
Is it my fri- no not friends.
I wou...
Iāve got a million different personalities
So go on just take your pick
Am I bubbly and girly
Or a sad emo chick
Just promise me you will be my best friend
Am I blonde or brunette?
Are my eyes green or blue?
Iām not Bella Poarch
The choice is up to you
Just promise me you will love me
I can be introverted if thatās what you want
Or maybe a social butterfly
I can be anything, anything ...
Out there, you control me.
Tug on these stringsā¦
Yeah, make them all see.
Drag me across the stage.
Laugh when theyāre around.
Scream and yell when theyāre not.
Pull these strings over and over.
Itās really the only leverage youāve got.
Sever a string or two.
Make me beg, you like that.
Get mad because Iām blue.
Staple my smile on tight.
Are you ready?
Here we go again!
Drag me out, show me of...
What am I doing?
I can feel a storm brewing
Why is it so hard to be alive?
Why do I want to cut with a knife?
Why canāt I reach out?
She fills me with doubt.
Why canāt I vent?
She makes me only talk about the present.
I want them to know my past
They wonāt care if you donāt tell it fast
But thereās so much to tell!
No need to yell.
It hurts. I say that a lot.
Itās a reoccurring thought
But I can...
TW: Very Christian. No fire and brimstone tho. I promise. āļø - Prompt-esque
Wonāt You stay
my hand again today?
Wrap me in Your strings,
bind my hands unto Your palms.
Shape my mouth to
sing Your Psalms.
I canāt live within the Way,
I canāt say the things You say.
Wouldnāt You tether my heart
to Your own?
Wouldnāt You connect me,
not of flesh or of bone?
I canāt live with all this pain.
...
A broken girl
In a broken world
What a shame
Always searching for someone to blame
Yet, whoās to blame
When all the noise is in your brain
Oh, a puppet under these stings
Your wish is my command
Tell me did you ever care to hold my hand
Hold me close
I guess not
It was always about control
Messed up in my mind
Longing to feed your appetite
Do you even notice
Do you even see me
Iām...
He'a a broken puppet,
Gullible, naĆÆve,
Always too selfless,
Give, don't recieve.
Used then discarded,
Passed hand to hand,
Abuse in disguise,
But he doesn't understand.
Tossed in the closet,
Even if he's afraid,
A new owner mends him,
Then breaks him again.
Limbs ripped off, then
Glued back misaligned,
Wants to sob, but he's
Stitched into a smile....
āCome on.ā
āYou should be awake by now.ā
āWere you given to much propofol?ā
āDid you have enough ketamine? Should I have given you morphine instead?ā
āMaybe it was too much rocuronium?ā
āWhat other combinations of drugs could have been used?ā
āWhat if I had used alfaxalone... a sedative first so you were already drowsy.ā
āDarn, could I...
