Lesser Being?
December 8, 2009
Am I less of a being because I wear fur?
Should I be confined to a cage because I purr?
Am I less of a being because I don't look the same?
Does my difference in appearance mean I'm immune to pain?
Is this fair to belittle me and take away my life?
You might as well rip out my heart and stab it with a knife.
In darkness I hurt and in silence I cry.
In anguish I live and in loneliness I die.
