The Street

I am out here all alone, not knowing what is going to be happening to me next. I found a place to sleep, but its not comfortable. I am surrounded by sounds and sights I have never seen before. I am cold and wet most of the time, or I am hot and can not find a place to cool my body. My stomach is always rumbling. But, sometimes when I find something to eat, it makes me sick. My body hurts a lot when I lay down as I am nothing but skin and bones having to lay on anything I can find to sleep. The sleep isn't a good one either, as noises that surround me always wake me and scare me.

I do get to sit and watch all you humans scurry around going from place to place. Watching as you sit and eat something that smells so good to me, for which I can not have. Many of you look at me, but do you truly see me or are you looking through me. I have watched many of you go into a nice place and felt the heat come out as you closed the door. Oh how I would love to have a place like that. A family that loves me and give me all things that I should have. But I do know that there are some of you that would also hurt me in ways I can not imagine.

So here I sit, day after day. Wondering if anyone will ever come to get me and take me to the place I so want to be. That place is in your lap or by your side, feeling your hand stroke me. Letting me know that I am loved and in a safe place. A place that I can forget everything that is happening to me now. A place I had no decision in coming to. It was other humans that put me here. Either I was able to escape or I was thrown away like garbage. But for now, I will only know the street.

Little Soul

Little Souls


I am sorry for what happened to you.

I am sorry for the way you were treated.

I am sorry that people could not treat you the way you should have been treated.

You had nothing to do with how you turned out. It was not your fault. All the blame
 belongs to the humans who had you.

I may not have known you or owned you, but I can feel your pain, your fright, your
confusion.

You belong to all of the other little souls out there that have no control over what
happens to you or how you are treated. You only act the way you do because of
the humans.

You were put into situations you have no control over. You are not given a choice.

Then they take you somewhere and either dump you or have you murdered because of
their own stupidity.

At least now, you can no longer be hurt by those that said they loved you. You are
free to go and be with others like you. To run and play for eternity.

You are among other little souls just like you.

(for a little dog I didn't know, and all the others that are out there now not loved, beaten, and destroyed because of stupid humans)
