An unholy number
Thirteen is my number,
But I never asked for it!
I never asked to be an experiment.
Thirteen is my number,
Branded into my skin,
Burned into my soul.
I never wanted to lose my freedom.
Will it make me its victim?
Will I rise above?
Will I ever see my home again,
Can I flee this cage?
What do these human's expect from me…
Do they think I can be tamed?
A lowly beast that needs to be broken,
Is this what they need me to think?
I must hold onto my past,
I come from a family of great wisdom,
A clan who did their part to protect,
This is my legacy, it's what will last…
Thirteen…
It was and still remains
The object of my shame.
Always wondering….Why me?
Why leave me out for all to see,
Like a monkey in a zoo?
I never asked for it…..
But who would ask to become sciences slaves?
