“You are just a puppet…you have no heart and can feel no pain.”
-Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII
Strings
I am just hanging.
Dreams
I am not living
Just a puppet
Controlled by fate, by feelings, by you
I’m just a doll
With no freedom, I do what you make me do
Heartless
No feelings, mo mood always is the same
Bloodless
Only these empty, wooden veins
I have no love, though I yearn for it
I yearn to be real, to enter into life
But I have nothing…no heart…no brain…
My whole existence is a lie
Poor
I have nothing to give
Hopeless
My soul has no shelter in which to live
Cold and lonely, my body stiff
I cannot move, I cannot speak
By myself I suffer here
A puppet of wood, not of flesh and meat
There is no future for a puppet
For me, there is no life
For a puppet there will be no hope
Only a long, enduring lie.

I'm impressed!
Big Bro i am truly impressed at how well you pen your emotions and feelings... i always knew you had writing talent and i knew you were able to write good poetry... but this is deep stuff that affects even me. keep writing and keep making me proud to call you Big Bro.

I could feel the emotion within this...
as those dark cloud reached for a promise that was never there...
an ilusion...
and yet the shattered heart was very apparent!
Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

Interesting&inventive,to be sure!
For me, this has been my life since August. Prococative, in the sense you can assimilate a reader's past. Indeed, lately I have felt this...
The Life Being Sucked Right Out Of Me!

what is life when pretending to be something you can never become? great write, loved the theme
-
Wow... I really liked it. The idea really grabbed my attention. The only thing was the poem was a little choppy. It didn't seem to flow as well as it could of. Besides that I really liked it. The idea of not being able to control anything is such an interesting thing to think about. Thanks for giving me something to ponder. Great write.

I've heard rumors that the game will be re-released, but I have other, stronger rumors that it simply be re-issued. I would love to see a complete re-making of the game's graphics and maybe even a bit added here and there to the storyline, like a way to bring Aeris back (I'd heard once they were going to do in the original game, but ran out of time and money for it).

Ok now i have to get FF7 I watched my brother play it before and just couldn't get into it.(course he likes to screw around maybe that's why)Now I will have to give it a second chance.I hope the game is great enough to merit this lovely poem you have written.Wonderful feelings expressed and these can be appied to some of the poeple I know.

Good
Another awesome poem from you. Can't wait for more. -
ARe you basing this on Sephiroths speech? Sephiroth himself? or Cloud? I have to say it does seem puppet like but I truly see no character. smiles I'm assuming your writing from a puppets point of view though, based on the line itself.. in which case it is a good write. a perfect description..

Very Good
I always like your poems. I read this one before, but didn't comment on it. Good job Joey, keep it up! -
Pretty good, I didn't really like the structure but I liked the sentiment. Also FF7 was the greatest RPG ever made for any system and when its re-released its will once again control all of our life's as it once did before. I think every time I think of cloud im just going to see a puppet now instead of the computerized extension of myself.
Keep it up man
Dan
