Left out
in the wild wind
the cold frost bites
me so
my master
doesn’t love me
no straw
no food
I know
life can be so awful
and all I see and feel
is pain
more pain
and agony
and I truly
can’t conceal
any of it
any more
I don’t know
what to do
but lay down
and just close my
eyes and float
off to the blue
( this little soul was neglected by its owner
in Michigan and was found without straw frozen
and starved to death)
