Pulling Strings

I know people who pull strings.

There has to be someone controlling

things. There are puppets and puppet

masters. There are shadows and shadow

casters. We can pull strings. We can

be the writer of our story or we can

be a character in someone else’s.

We can make things happen. We can

take action or we can sit and wait

until circumstance dictates our fate.

We can join the race or we can watch

from the sidelines. We can push through

or let others choose. We can pull strings.

We can control our own puppet. Don’t

let someone else gain control of your soul.

Hop in the driver’s seat and press the gas.

Go fast and know, we all eventually crash.
