fed me<br \/>\nJust chained me there<br \/>\nNever came back for me<br \/>\nWasn&#8217;t aware<br \/>\nHow much I loved them<br \/>\nThey didnt care<br \/>\nLeft on my own<br \/>\nTo just be aware<\/p>\n<p>Existence with nobody<br \/>\nDrives one insane<br \/>\nAnd having no sustenance<br \/>\nI felt such strain<br \/>\nAnd The last time<br \/>\nI saw them<br \/>\nThey kicked me and said<br \/>\nWe are not  coming back<br \/>\nUntil you are dead<\/p>\n<p>We dont want to see you<br \/>\nYour ugly brown eyes<br \/>\nYour smell it just sickens us<br \/>\nDont you realise<br \/>\nYou are pathetic<br \/>\nOf course we dont care<br \/>\nNobody wants you<br \/>\nOr knows that you are there<\/p>\n<p>So you can get on with it<br \/>\nPerhaps you will learn<br \/>\nNo one will love you<br \/>\nYou are no one!s concern<br \/>\nYou can rot for all we care<br \/>\nRot in your hole<br \/>\nYou are just one<br \/>\nfucking rotten arse ole<\/p>\n<p>Being chained in this hovel<br \/>\nIs one thing I know<br \/>\nNot being fed is another blow<br \/>\nBut loving and caring for someone<br \/>\nAnd they<br \/>\nLeave you to rot and just walk away<br \/>\nWas too much to take in<br \/>\nI cannot explain<br \/>\nAll my sores all my darkness<br \/>\nAgain all my pain<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to see her<br \/>\nTo just see her smile<br \/>\nI knew she would hit me<br \/>\nShe would for a while<br \/>\nBut I was now losing it<br \/>\nMy heart and soul<br \/>\nIn my mind I was crazy<br \/>\nI lost every goal<\/p>\n<p>I had set for myself<br \/>\nI just wanted to die<br \/>\nWith one dark regret<br \/>\nJust where I lie<br \/>\nFood for the bugs<br \/>\nSo still with a need<br \/>\nBut i had such big sores<br \/>\nAnd my heart it did bleed<\/p>\n<p>I remember that morning<br \/>\nI have no idea<br \/>\nHow I was feeling<br \/>\nJust that death felt near<br \/>\nThat nobody loved me<br \/>\nAnd nobody cared<br \/>\nWas really what got to me<br \/>\nThen someone  stared<br \/>\nSomeone was there<br \/>\nI could smell them<br \/>\nSo sweet<br \/>\nWearing blue jeans and<br \/>\nStraight off the street<\/p>\n<p>I remember shivering<br \/>\nFrightened as hell<br \/>\nI was in a state<br \/>\nIn the darkest of spell<br \/>\nI must have smelled terribly<br \/>\nThis was my loo<br \/>\nCovered in bugs<br \/>\nAnd shivering too<\/p>\n<p>But she knelt down beside me<br \/>\nShe didnt care<br \/>\nShe put her hand on me<br \/>\nShe was aware<\/p>\n<p>She brought me food<br \/>\nShe was soft she was sweet<br \/>\nShe smiled she was young<br \/>\nAnd Just off the street<br \/>\nAn angel had found me<br \/>\nI was in such a state<\/p>\n<p>They took me to a hospital<br \/>\nAnd they did wait<br \/>\nI was really uncomfortable<br \/>\nThat people could see<br \/>\nWhat an absolute wreck<br \/>\nTime and life did to me<br \/>\nI could  hardly walk<br \/>\nI had sores everywhere<br \/>\nI had reached the end<br \/>\nTo the darkest despair<\/p>\n<p>Even my mind was going as well<br \/>\nI had closed down forever<br \/>\nFor my short trip to HELL<\/p>\n<p>The angels there tended me<br \/>\nCleaned me and I<br \/>\nWas fed and was watered<br \/>\nAnd I slept on a high<br \/>\nEvery day for a week<br \/>\nSomeone said Hi!<br \/>\nAnd cared and they spared  time for me<br \/>\nAnd so I<\/p>\n<p>Responded my last chance<br \/>\nPerhaps in the world<br \/>\nI was feeling better<br \/>\ni had been hurled<br \/>\nInto Hell and recovered<br \/>\nNow I wanted to be<br \/>\nIn the light being loved<br \/>\nFor an eternity<\/p>\n<p>I found a new forever home<br \/>\nWith two friends<br \/>\nTwo doggie brothers<br \/>\nAnd the message that sends<br \/>\nMe into such joy to part of something<br \/>\nTo  be part of a family<br \/>\nNot just some wretched thing<\/p>\n<p>You kick when your angry<br \/>\nOr you shout at a lot<br \/>\nOr they forget to feed you<br \/>\nWhen they have a big pot<br \/>\nYou can smell really  nice  things<br \/>\nBut they will not share<br \/>\nThey neglect you and think<br \/>\nThat you are not aware<\/p>\n<p>My forever home<br \/>\nIs nothing like that<br \/>\nWe all have our own bowls<br \/>\nWe know where we are at<\/p>\n<p>And we have pi water<br \/>\nIt makes green seeds grow<br \/>\nIts extra special<br \/>\nWhich all of us know<br \/>\nIts been a few weeks<br \/>\nAnd I am happy again<br \/>\nJust to be part of their<br \/>\nSweetest refrain<br \/>\nTo play in the garden<br \/>\nAnd just being me<br \/>\nLoved and cared for<br \/>\nAnd a new mummy<\/p>\n<p>A friend who is there for us<br \/>\nNo more neglect<br \/>\nJust a smile and a pat<br \/>\nand a lot of respect<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobody fed me Just chained me there Never came back for me
