Marionette

Is anyone real? Can anybody be?
Why must we pretend?
Why be something we are not?
Insecurities drive us to hurt one another - Ultimately ourselves
Can anyone see this? Does anybody care?

Human Growth - Is there really such a thing?
Or are we doomed to repeat the same mistakes?
Does maturity exist?
Or are we destined to be like children for the rest of our lives?
Learning the same lessons, over and over...

Can we help ourselves without hurting one another?
Do we care for ourselves because we ultimately have no one to turn to?
Does not having someone to lean on cause us to ignore another's needs in return...

Lost in the maze that life brings,
Coming to many false exits...
Should we give up and just stagnate?
Or do we fight to find a way out of there?

Can we ever find a way out of it any way?
