Conversations With My Dog
Good morning
Of course I want to pet your belly
Do you think I’ll ever be good enough?
I wish I could see myself
Through your eyes
How are you so beautiful?
Do you think I’ll ever be pretty?
Do you ever feel the need,
To fake being ok?
Of course I’ll take your toy
And play.
Tug of war is easier
When it’s only with a toy.
I know your a dog
But do you ever play tug of war
With your own thoughts?
You never worry about food
Or what weight you are gaining,
I love when you wag your tail.
Sometimes I worry
I will never be good enough.
How are you so perfect?
Do you want a hug?
Maybe if I fake it,
Fake being ok,
One day I’ll mean it.
Do you have to go potty?
Of course I’ll go outside with you.
I hope nobody sees me,
I’ve gained more weight.
Do you want to get your ball,
And play fetch?
Sometimes I think failing
Is all I will be good at.
Do you wanna go to bed?
Are you tired like me?
What’s it like to fall asleep -
Without any worries?
