i’m not a bad dog.
i’m sorry i bit
you gave me a collar,
a name,
a home house.
i wish to be invited into your home
you’re not a bad dog.
you don’t just bite
your collar pokes and pods,
you don’t answer to your name,
you burst from your house
to our home
i’m not a bad dog
i don’t deserve this.
i try to stay away from bugs
and you keep me from you
you’re not a bad dog
you bring us dirt,
and fleas
and love in whatever form you can.
i’m not a bad dog
i don’t know where i am
i’m scared
i’m tired
i want to go home.
you’re not a good dog
i’m sorry it has to be like this
you’re too dangerous
you just have to go to sleep.
this is home now.
