Creature

Caged

I feel like some sort of creature

The kind that people hunt down and try to keep in

An enclosed habitat for people to look at me and see

What kind of freak I am

I feel like I must be covered in some kind of poisonous barbs

Because every time a person comes to try to care or love me

I hurt them

Sometimes people come to admire me but

Once they see my real capabilities they run

Much like a zoo animal I am kept trapped in this world of ours

A world were people lie and they deceive and

They break you for what you are

Every person starts out as a beautiful sort of beast

With their own defining artistic qualities

However we are warped into what others want

To stay true to yourself, now that is the challenge

To not be ensnared by the world and made society's prize

I have been caught and I have been stripped of my own identity

I walk naked and ashamed as others mock

And now realize I am but a creature for others use

I will be the one that stays up with you and

I will be the one to catch your tears

When you fall ill I will be the one to visit and nurse you

I will be the one who tries to make you laugh

And hug you when you are broken hearted

However be warned that I am still a dangerous creature capable of much hurt

But until that day comes when I hurt you too

Just remember that I love you
