Abandoned Wolf



Did you know that all I ever wanted was to make you happy?

When you picked me out from by brothers and sisters,

and separated me from my mom, I was still the same puppy as I am now.

When you grabbed me by my skin and shoved my face into the mess I made,

I felt humiliated.

You know when you slapped my back when I didn’t sit on your command,

Well did you know that’s because I was so exited to see you.

Can you still remember when I went potty on the carpet?

And you hit me on my head, I’m sorry,

I just didn’t know what you expected from me.

When I was left home alone and I pooped on the rug,

I was crying by the door for hours until I couldn’t stand it any longer.

You know that when you kicked my side for playing with the cat,

I ached for weeks after that, and you still didn’t know

Why I cringed and jumped at your touch.

When you were watching your favorite show by the fireplace,

And I was out in the cold, breathing onto the glass,

All I wanted was to lie by your feet and feel you presence.

Have you ever thought about things from my perspective?

When you went camping and left me home all alone,

I really did want to go with you, not stay bored at the house…

I do enjoy smelling and exploring new things, and guess what;

You even forgot to say by to me.

Now I’m here in this small cold cage, where no one even notices me.

All I here at night is the cry of hundreds of other dogs.

Do you really think I don’t want someone to love and trust?

Someone not to be afraid of.

Well I do, and now there’s no hope.

Nobody wants me because of you. I am scared and I shake when any person comes near me. I can’t keep my self from barking our growling.

I just don’t want to get hurt any more.
