Mend Away, My Sweet Marionette...

 


Mend away, my sweet Marionette…

You consider yourself an utterly broken doll,

Like a reflective glass pane, after a mighty fall,

Broken into many tiny shards that can’t mend,

But it’s all in your mind, that sure can bend!

Even an unblemished record needs to be broken,

To produce music, as divine as the angels woken…

You feel lonely, for you have no one to understand;

For people are eager and raring to misunderstand.

So, you drift by like a nomad without a home,

Unheard, unseen, unfelt, and eternally doomed to roam…

But there are ears yearning just for your heart’s song;

If only you dare to break your silence of so long;

For there is a mind as muddled and unheard just as you,

All they need is your trust, and of theirs, as do you!
