LOCKED AWAY


Hidden from the world
I wish I could see
Listening to the stories
I wish I could live

My space too tight
I barely feel my body
I can’t turn my eyes
At least to observe

Everyone is living life
I’m I even remembered?
Had me all through childhood
Now no one wants me

At least I’m not discarded
Unwanted waste in the gutter
I at least have a home
Better off than the supermarket

My night and day all the same
I sit in my tiny space
Playing along to their wish
Though barely touched or noticed

Sarah my first owner
Her belly is swelling up
I sense a new owner coming
I’m so fed up of this little space

I want to be free
I too want to be loved
Bring smiles to them
And given a bath once in a while.
