Author's Note-

Here I am on a Saturday night, typing away. Well, welcome to my life. I do write poems on my homework when I don't want to listen to the teacher, then I had an idea for a poem. I love Warriors, and decided to write a little poem about how the warriors are and live. If it's crappy, suck it up. Just, take a little bit of time to read what I've written. I do it for you guys, so just do it for me. Sorry, I don't know where that came from.

"God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages."

Jacques Deval

Deep within the shadows and trees

Lie animals, who are always free

They are bound together

Never leaving forever

Deep within the madness and hate

Lie hearts who don't know their fate

They must continue on

Not knowing when it's their final dawn

Deep within the betrayers and dark

Cats scratch their claws on the bark

Marking what belongs to them

And what they must defend

Deep within the new and old

Lie stories forever untold

And secrets unshared

And loyalties that aren't fair

Deep within the battles and cries

You listen for the lies

Of the evil and traitors

Not knowing what lies in the heather

Deep within the branches and leaves

Lies friendships that weave

Through the time and space

Never forgetting their place

Deep within the leaders and rules

Cats are sometimes made fools

But are still looked upon

With still a loving fond

Deep within the magic and love

Hearts fly like doves

And the stregnths are on test

To see which is the best

Deep within the claws and teeth

Cats run around with their feet

Waiting for orders to be made

And for the heat to start the day

Deep within the rules and death

There is a code which tests the best

And legends are made

From the faded

Deep within the shadows and trees

Lie animals who are always free

And live life like it was meant to be

Free from you and me

Author's Note-

I'm not crazy, let me explain. It is saying how deep within the forest lie cats who have their own lives and are free and show us what it means to be alive. The last verse, 'Free from you and me' is saying how they are warriors. Not kittypets and belong in the wild. Just R&R please and tell me how you thought of my little poem.
