Friend to You

I decided to place the strings between the blades of a scissor. & look at the prideful man made child; The father: my Decimus. 

& snip the tethers between the two. I swallowed you whole and became the a semblance of the same man. 

I will not be at the whim of sadism, tyranny, insatiable dissatisfaction. My sacrificial fawn for your Faun. This feign both you & I became. You will fade, as I, into nothing. The puppet son that I became... 

My marionette is for me to self-realize. It is my choice to live and breathe. I cannot die for you any longer. 

I will laugh at the absurdity of what is now such a simple realization. & weep. & play victim. & live in a bit work memory transitioning into an outward monster asking for repentance so to not be swallowed by Leviathan. 

I crawl over broken glass and look for who I am in the pieces. Mutilating my body. Defaming my name like a shameful, undeserving coward. Just like my Daddy made me. I thank you for being a part of the plan because I am mine now.



"Steven Redhead; Life is a Dance":
The Puppet Master pulled the strings, The wooden puppet danced. 
An evil grin spread across his face, And back and forth he glanced.
“I am the Puppet Master, You move to my decree. 
You’re just a lifeless marionette That must rely on me.”

“Bow down to me you piece of pine, You have no mind or will, 
So, everything that I command, You always must fulfill.”

He moved the crossed controlling sticks, An arm lifted, then a leg. 
The puppet bowed its wooden head, But he couldn’t make it beg.
The Puppet Master tugged the strings, His taunting turned to ire. 
He yanked the sticks this way and that, “I’ll toss you on the pyre!”
The marionette slowly raised its head 
And grinned a macabre smile. 

It’s gaudy painted puppet’s face 
Contorted and defiled.

an extension of suciogami;

In Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king known for his immense wealth and divine lineage (son of Zeus) but also for his hubris and transgressions against the gods, which resulted in his eternal torment in Tartarus. He was punished by being placed in a pool of water under a fruit tree, with the water always receding and the fruit always out of reach, forever experiencing hunger and thirst.
