When the Door Shuts and Opens

With beautiful brown eyes peering to see the outside With a bobble head so cute to be cuddled and kissed Why would you considered locking such a poor thing Eyes that want to be free, with glee of hope to see A short life it may be, but such thing does not concern A young lost being, a human that should have been The door slowly shuts but the little peering eyes want to see To see the outside for that smile he saw with others I dreamed that I was being put into a kennel But really it was a small room, away from everyone For days I was given food, and shots trying to keep me I was sick for a couple of days lying in bed on my own My heartfelt slow and energy draining me Finally the door opens and they took my temperature My arms swelling, had to poke it to let things out I did not cry, I did not move, I just lie there Something came to me laughter of energy What was it again, was the door open to hear or to see My heart beat faster, causing me to focus on eating The food that was in the room was days old I ate it with no complaint, I drove death away The sound that I heard was so familiar I was not tall enough to look out the window But some familiar voices was calling my name It made me strong, it made me happy, it brought hope Tell me if my door is open or shut for the reality I hope the people that is near to me, could open that door Days passed they brought in familiar voices and faces I sat up wiping my eyes, to see, I was sad but happy I asked in my mind I was so young to say why the door was closed Why was I in here? Was it to be safe or was it no one wanted me? Finally I was to walk through the shut door that was open Till this day I have this dream, does anyone want me? A lonesome heart that was shut out, and lock within a door It takes bravery to be a child that does not know People should look at one there a spitting image of an adult When forced to become one, is your child locked up Did you close that door too soon, I remember just to be That child fallowing the images before the door shuts And when the door opens that child is looking at you How do you feel? When you see eyes sparkling without fear
