I don't belong
I am the cat.
I am sly,
I am agile,
I am an outcast.
I am the one who doesn't belong,
With the humans,
Nor the cursed.
No shelter.
No safety from the cruelty of the world.
No one cares if I am in pain.
No one looks past the shell of my being.
Am I that unimportant?
Does everyone wish me dead?
The knife in my hand looks comforting,
It's the only thing that does.
Everyone has a fate,
Everyone has a dream.
This is my fate.
To die by my own hands.
Relieving the pain of my years of grieving.
I am the cat.
I am sly,
I am agile,
I am but a bitter
distant
memory.
