Animal

I am not an animal

I am human

I promise you

And I don't make promises

So just believe me when I say I'm one of you

When it becomes scientific

I am the same species

I am human too

You can ask my doctor

Not my vet

Because my vet if for my cats

Not me

And I suppose you're used to calling me an animal

So feel free

Call me what you want

Stare if you must

Process every inch of my body

If that's what it takes

For you to believe

That we are all human

And we are all the same species

And while that might be true

I will never be like you
