Please Stop

March 3, 2023

why can't you see the life in my eyes?

why can't you see the tears flowing down?

whe can't you be nice

why 

why

why?

 

why can't you just hold me, and cuddle 

and stroke my furr?

why don't you be nice to me

why 

why 

why?

 

There are rainbows, and puppies and kittens

runing the day

why don't you just shut off

your terror button for the day?

 

Why?

Goodbye!
