Who am I?
I am stuck without my sisters and brothers
The bars hold me in
Just like all the others
I hear their cries
And at my cue
I feel it inside me
I’m crying out too
Though there are some
Who have been waiting so patiently
They do not cry out
They lay quietly
They sit at the wall
Instead of the cage door
With paws twice my size
And scars trailing down to their core
Then I see you
And you see me
Your eyes light up
But what could it be?
Who are you? I ask
But you don’t answer my plea
You pick me up and hold me close
Igniting a warm feeling inside me
Then you take me away
To a place that smells like you
“Indy” you call me
Though much louder when I chew
I love you
And you love me
You gave me a home
And an identity
Every dog should have a forever home. Lovely poem ❤
