A Pteri's Cry, a neopets fanfic

A Pteri's Cry

I always wondered if you could tell me,
What it meant to be truly free.

Living a life confined to this cage.
I eat, I sleep, I drink, I walk.
But I do not fly,
I wish to fly, but sadly I mustn't.
This cage will not allow me to.
It is made for imprisonment.
Many pets come here;
Not just Pteris like me.
Aisha, Acaras, Peophins,
They all come.
Why must they suffer?
Because of our owners.
Or should I say previous owners.
They abandoned us.
They sent us to live here.
They sent us to the pound.
Please help.
Please adopt.
The perfect pet is waiting,
Waiting just for you.
I see someone coming!
Maybe that someone...
Is just for me!

I finally know just how it can be,
The joy and laughter of being free.
