Boing-O ...

Boing-O, Boing-O, Boing-O
my strings quite merrily
bounced me along.
Notice I then,
as in past other days,
the same strings attached
to others, all grins the same,
of these she had met, loved
then cast away.
Boing-Heat, Boing-Rage
Boinging despair,
with sharp'nd  words I cut my strings
leaving them to wither
fall bloody away.
Crumple I then
to this lifless earth
needing to relearn
how to once more walk
and with these limbs a tremble
stand i once more
proud, free
for of all these puppets
t'would I of myself be a man.
I can have it no other way
and as a man
she can either accept me
or walk...

away.
