a dog.

"I feel like a dog, I cry like a dog


Matted mange and muzzled maw 

With gnashing teeth that bite and gnaw


Hide under the couch with a tail between legs

Hackles raised, I curl my spine 

Twisted and bent to comply the confines


It's pathetic and demeaning 

To suffer this feeling 

Desperately pleading at the foot of your throne 

Begging and begging 

For a glimpse of the bone"
