if i am a dog my fur is torn and matted. if i am a dog my heart is dry and lonesome. if i am a dog my sight is lost snd i’ve forgotten all love and affection. if i am a dog i lay on the ground as guests compliment my looks while i huff and puff struggling to breathe. if i am a dog i cant eat until i feel loved so i starve for hours waiting for a greeting. if i am a dog all feeling has drained from my body and i form a canvas for others to project ideas onto me. if i am a dog i suffer as much as i do a human. if i am a dog just know i do feel feelings that you are unaware of. if i am a dog you neglect your actions that affect me because you don’t get why dogs are the way they are. if i am a dog im worth that of a child or object. if i am a dog my loyalty is seen before my heart as people paint me into a symbol. if i am a dog my smell poisons you as you refuse to wash me.
