A marionette,

One that won't move,

unless it is told to do so,

not a single muscle

in its wooden threadbare arms

but it has a smile,

it's the only expression it can have

it's the expression it is told to have

it has no choice.

until it is useless.

Then it is left behind,

in the dark

where it doesn't move

It just waits,

for nothing to happen.

broken, the smile,

now broken,

gone.

It lays in the dark,

broken,

useless.

no one cares for it.

it just lays hidden in the dark,

and lets out all the tears,

it hid behind the  smile

that was drawn on it.

A marionette,

a sad marionette.
