"If you can take it, you can make it"


Kept in a metal cage

only to be laughed at.

Pet head to toe

only to be judged.

Why is everybody trapped

inside a petting zoo?

When all we do is laugh about our own

insecurities,

just like pets

laugh at their family.

Steadily breathing

in their cage

of sorrow...

will you,

or anybody,

let me out of this petting zoo?

Or am I trapped here to rot away

like a barnacle on a sinking ship?


The author's comments:

People can be judgmental sometimes, but I just want to let everybody know that they're amazing! Don't listen to what other people say. And don't be trapped in a petting zoo.
