The canine's teeth sank
into the florescent tennis ball
and the once wild beast
became a puppy
My once open heart
was ripped apart
and my very soul
became dependent
But the world looked on
seeing something nostalgic
in it all, yet
you had cheated me of my destiny
You held me back
replaced my once wild dreams
with a sedated reality
and the sign began to read:
BEWARE OF DOG
because all of my instincts said
bite the hand that feeds
you can survive on your own
