Control Poems
Wooden You
by Mac Mayo
This broken brain of mine projects
a six-foot, shadowed silhouette
of a puppet, strung-out and plucked
by someone who looks and sounds
exactly how I may too often seem.
The void inside me quickly over-swells,
and strange skin transforms to spread
while I am left alone to wither.
Shapeless and hollow, that pit,

broken puppets
by Alexander Palmer
Aren't I just a puppet?
Rotting on your stagnant string,
I'll say that it's all love,
Even when you make me bleed.
And aren't I just your puppet?
Snapping my bones to fit your production,
I'll say that I don't mind it,
Through my retching and disgust.

The Other Cheek
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
My injured heart can't take yr words
They are weaken it and continue to do so
Yr words echoes the cancer
That damages my soul
As I stand silently taking in
Who gave you the right to put me down
What thoughts across yr mind
That causes you do that
Making me cry
I don't care if you are better than me
......
Run
by Kayla Mumford
I love you big
I built a whole world for you
I chose people
made them audition just to
be in your life
I paved paths and roads so you’d
know exactly where to go
So you’d come home everyday
To me
So you would like the same people
