It's been a while since a poem was posted. Just made this poem, so it's likely bad, lol.
- Shay (They/it) 🐾
Tw/cw: animal abuse (not mentioned by name), biting, scratching, growling, and hissing. [Not sure if all of these need warnings, but they are there, so yeah].
We are caged like
Dangerous wild animals.
We are chained up like
Aggressive tamed animals.
Not wild and not tamed.
We bite at the cage
And the chains
Hoping it would help
Us get free from them.
Not wild and not tamed.
We growl as people get close
To our cage and our chains.
We hiss as they get closer
To our cage and our chains.
Not wild and not tamed.
We are caged and chained up
To protect others from us.
However, it doesn't protect
Us from ourselves.
Not wild and not tamed.
We aren't safe from ourselves.
We bite and scratch ourselves.
To feel something other than
The fear and anger that comes from being
Not wild and not tamed.
Tw/cw: blood, fangs, and claws, I guess.
- Shay (They/it) | more werecreature hours I guess
I feel the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I see the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I taste the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I smell the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I love the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I miss the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
Idk what number of poems I have posted this is.
Tw/cw: anger mention, none others I can think of, let me know if you find any more
- Shay (They/it) | using for not Zuki related tag (just for "me")
I roll over
To show you
My belly
To make you
Realize that I
Mean no real harm
I roll over
To say
I'm sorry
To say
You're right
I'm wrong
I roll over
And hope that
Maybe just maybe
You won't leave
That you won't
Hate me
I roll over
Cause I'm
A bad dog
Cause I'm
Not right
I'm sorry
I roll over
Cause I want
Your love and attention
Cause I don't want
Your fear or anger
I'm sorry
5th poem to post. Another dog & wolf related poem, lol. A lot of my poems are canine related cause of me being a canine kin [specifically wolfdog kin].
Tw/cw: biting mention, abuse hinted at(?), and I think that's all. Let me know if you find any tw/cw I didn't add that I need to.
- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it/xe) [trying something new with my sign off thing on my poem posts]
I think that
I should roll over
And whine sorry
Over and over again
But instead I growl
I bare my teeth
And snap at you
I bite and growl
I should roll over
I should say sorry
I should be a good dog
A good wolf
But I'm not
I growl and bite
I'm a bad dog
A bad wolf
I should roll over
I growl and snap
I should whine sorry
I bare my teeth and bite
I'm sorry I'm not good
I bite even when
You try to help me
For I'm scared
I'm sorry I'm bad
I growl even when
You're kind for I don't
Know when you'll stop
Second poem to post.
Tw/cw: abuse but not named. Nothing else I can think of but let me know if you find anymore.
Another canine/dog related poem.
Trying something different with the read more thing being after the title of the poem.
I love like a dog
Always going back
To people who hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
Always letting people
I love hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
Always waiting for
People to hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
I hurt the people
I love just the same
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
First poem to post, lol.
No tw or cw I can think of.
This poem is very dog related.
The formatting is different on here than it was on my notes app, so it might seem weird. Although it might have seemed weird anyway, lol.
You taught me to fight
Yet when I fight
You label me a
Bad dog
You taught me to bite
But when I bite
You call me a
Bad dog
You taught me to growl
Yet when I growl
You say I'm a
Bad dog
You taught me this
But when I listen
You declare me a
Bad dog
You taught me
Yet I listen and
You insist I'm a
Bad dog
You taught me
How to be a
Bad dog
