Loved at once, then forgotten

abandoned to roam the streets.

Caring parents and stroking hands

Became angry shouts and striking blows.

Furever home they coo and claim,

but one accident changes their mind.

“He’s grown too big!” They with shock.

Then throw me out to live alone.

Humans are all the same.

I bark.

I growl.

I fight.

They cannot be trusted.

I slink away from hands and nets.

The streets are where I find my pack.

My trust for humans forever broken.
