I am not loved,I am betrayed,
Into a cage,
I can barely breathe.


I haven’t been fed in days,
Please don’t hit me,
I can’t help my barking,
I can’t handle your kicks,
They make me feel sick.


Don’t leave me to die,
It isn’t my time,
I just want your love,
You to care for me.


I am not a bug in your house,
I am an animal,
I deserve your respect.


I am so helpless,

I am in so much pain,
I don’t want to be treated like a rag doll,
I am just like you.


Just because I’m not human doesn’t mean you can abuse me,
Or treat me differently,
I can’t survive on my own,
That’s why I need you.


I need your protection,
From people who kill my kind,
I am as skinny as a skeleton,
That is not how I should be,
My body is covered,
In dry blood from you.


The sight of your kind,
Now makes me afraid,
I need for someone to love me,
To appreciate having me in their life.

I remember when you took me home,
You loved me at first,
You treasured having me in your house,
Then all of a sudden you changed,
You acted like I was just a stupid toy,
Like I only existed for your amusement.
