Running away

I am finally on my own.
finally free to roam.
to where i did not know.

deep inside the forest grounds.
protected by the trees.
i venture on so proud and brave.
yet still my heart pounds.

soon i find I'm lost.
confused in an unknown world.
i hear the sound of something coming.
and froze on dirt so soft.
some dogs come forward.
i am hungry and they might be friendly.
I wander closer I'm no coward.

they snap and growl and run my way.
i am petrified with fear.
as i begin to tremble i cry inside my head.
oh loving owner why did i run away.
i feel a sharp pain in my neck.
and as i yowl with pain i realize no one can hear me as my life fades away.
