A very well-written Rondelet. We sometimes become a marionette to the very person we are love with our whole hearts. We allow it for two reasons we are in love and the other is we hope they will change.

Hi Sandra;
it is so scary to think that our actions aren't our own; but it does happen to too many people,

One cannot live a life of self respect when they are being controlled by another. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.

Well, unless the one who is holding the strings is God, this is a terrifying thing. There are women in those kinds of relationships where they are fearful and are not able to have their own opinions, activities or real life.

How interesting, different ways of penning , but all got the control issue central. Marionettes can be fun, by their operators but all of the poems I read had the sinister approach. The Puppet Master means one who controls others by thought or action. This applies to too many men (and women) in real relationships. Nice poem, thanks for sharing
Hugs, Trisha

You have a smooth flow of words that fits the picture perfectly. An eery feeling comes from reading your poem. The feeling of not being in control is clear and comes through your words.

Hi, Patty.
This a well-written poem about a bad situation. Nobody ever wants to feel controlled by another person.
Thank you for your author notes and the explanation offered of 'hep'.

Hep, that's a helluvu word!

Being a puppet is not the way it should be. Everyone has the right to call their own shots, even if they choose the wrong path.As you say, fear of overstepping is not an option.

I enjoyed reading this poem. It makes me think how often I feel controlled by circumstances I have no control over. LOL I imagine many people feel that way. Thank you for sharing.
