Grip of the World

A lot of times when we do things we usually dont because we know its wrong, it feels like being a puppet, that you have no control over what you do, the World takes over holding the strings making your every move. Once those strings snap and you come back to reality, the World grabs you, in its nasty burnt hand, and attaches more of its black string on you, for you are now the Worlds puppet, doing its every will, saying things you usually don't say, doing things you usually don't. For all this time you could get away by grabbing the strings and breaking them, but instead you just go with the flow. You are now with the "Cool" crowd. The Worlds favorite group, because its so easy to attach its strings to those people. Then you look at some of your other friends the ones who aren't being held up by strings. You see the happiness and joy they have in their life. But The World takes you and places you in its Forever black shadow to hide you from the light. The more you think about the light and how much you want it, the more the strings don't feel as tight anymore. You pull with all your might at the strings until they all....break. You look over at the light and you see a man standing there with his arms opened wide begging you to come back. You begin to run to him, running past the other Puppets of the World who begin to get in your way trying to prevent you from leaving. You run past the Alleyways and in every alleyway the world has nasty burnt arms and they try to grab you, but they can't because your running too fast. Right before the end of the Worlds darkness stands someone wearing a hood. They take off the hood, and they stare at you with their bleeding black eyes. To your surprise its you....This is what you look like when your a puppet for the World. You move to one side, so do they, you move to the other they do the same. The man holding his arms out on the other side walks towards you. "Take it all away" you say looking at the man. He grabs your hand and you begin to walks out of the shadow of the World. The World throws all its got at you. The man shields you from the Worlds attacks. After a while you hear nothing...and he walks with you out of the Worlds Shadow.
