Marionette of Pride

I am me and you will know me
Ignore the strings that guide me
For I will do on my own
I cry out as I cut a string
“I deserve better!”

I want what I want and it will be mine
Roving eyes see my objects
Craving madness consumes until I possess
I scream as I cut a string
“I deserve better!”

Me, yes me
I am driven to be
Ultimate, powerful, you will see
I demand as I cut a string
“I deserve better!”

You will not depart 
You are beneath
You will see how great I am
I rage as I cut the last string
“I deserve better!”

Ignore my crumpled state
You miserable imp
Watch my power and be awed
Motionless I lie
“I deserve better!”
