I'm not a puppet on a string

I ain't always perfect, I'll say that out loud.
I've really made my share of mistakes, a lot of
them weren't very good, okay I'll say it they were awful.

The biggest mistake I ever made was, letting people
write my life's story, when I'm supposed to.
After a while my life was a disaster, for me anyhow.
Everyone was so pleased, with the Shi they had created.

I was the puppet on the string that everyone enjoyed,
but I was utterly miserable.
Day after day I went along being, my
mom, grandma, or whatever someone wanted to be.

Then I started being the problem barer, and
I made everyone happy, but someone inside was
screaming the me that I wouldn't let out.

Till one day I realized, I'm not
magic, and I deffinately ain't no fairy,
so why am I holding everyones burdens?

I still care and still help, ecept instead
of forgetting me, I help me first.

Moral: You can't make everybody happy sooner or later your gonna let someone down just don't let that someone be you.
