Animal

by x Mo x   Mar 18, 2007


I feel like an animal
Caged up at the zoo.
Everybody is watching,
Trying to see what I'll do.

They don't care about me;
How I feel or act.
They care about their knowledge;
Their minds and facts.

Like a lab rat,
Always getting pinched and poked.
I stare at my lost dreams;
I watch them get choked.

    This is a well writen poem. But I hope this is not how you really feel. I would never do that to you, and I would do all I could to stop whoever is doing it.

    It seems I can relate to a lot of what you say, My family is kinda... oh... disfunctional. And they don't know anything about me or even try to understand me. There is favorism as far as between me and my sister, she got to do everything she wanted. I am in a distant relationship, and they think its stupid. So i know what its like to have dreams have them be not supported or crushed.

    This is a good poem. I feel like this often as not, trapped inside a box, a spectactle, a caged animal. Helpless and uncared for.

    One line I feel does not fit:

    I stare at my lost dreams;

    ^ 'Lost dreams,' from my point of view, does not exactly correlate with the rest of the idea.
