    stitched up like a good little puppet that i am
    people taking ahold of my life


    moving my arms, my mouth to what they want
    what they think is best for me

    they move my legs, to the point of life they want me to have
    and never think of what i actually want instead

    taking control of my life....take ahold of the strings attach to my body
    and make me do some kind of crazy dance for them

    to make them happy....instead of me
    always to do good in their eyes

    till the day...i finally had a mind of my own
    had enough of pleasing everyone else's whims

    had to take back my life
    had to take back my diginity

    and give myself happiness
    do what i want for a change

    instead of pleasing others
    yet people are mad at me... no audience coming for the shows

    no more money coming into the household
    and blame it all on me...for just wanting a life of my own

    to be a real girl...with a heart and mind
    and not be a puppet anymore

    dont want to put on shows for anyone
    dont want to make everyone else happy

    i want to be myself
    be ashley...not this puppet everyone thinks i am

    taking ahold of my life
    viewing the world newly

    breathing in the fresh air for once
    and know that i am satisifying myself

    and it feels so good... to be human
    and do what i want for a change

    and to always not let everyone to grow those strings back
    and take my life over.... to much heartache for that and no mind as well

    first steps to becoming this new ashley
    first steps to having a life of my own...no one to tell what is right and wrong
