A Better Place
I do not have nine lives
My wounds take time to heal
They hurt and I have no pain medicine
When I am abused, how do you think I feel?
I do not shed human tears
But I do make noise from the pain
I do not know what I have done
For you to make these bloody stains
I have been left out in the rain
All miserable and cold
I have been hungry for some days
How could you be so bold?
I am forced to do bad things
I am picked on for your enjoyment
I barely get time to rest
Yet you want me to climb mountains
I have wished for better days
If I was human I would pray
For a savior to come find me
And take me far, far away.
