Agony

An animal in agony
Please put me down.
Mercy-kill is what they call it.

A deer in the headlights,
a fish caught on the hook.
Tell me I am different,
tell me I am wrong.

Please have mercy
and end this force fed lie.
I am tired, I am dread.
I am empty, I am fed.

And as the dog walks astray
to be alone and to fade to gray.
I will turn you all away,
I will too accept my fate.
