A Dog Chasing Its Tail

This was my first poem ever. I lost it a while ago but recently rediscovered it again. This was written when I was 15 and started my love of creating poems. I love looking back on it to see my improvements and thoughts since then! A little dog chases his tail Does he not know? Is he unaware? 'Someday I will catch it' It tells to itself But that day is never And too high on the shelf Someday that little dog will die With unfinished goals But not a tear it will cry Its life could be but a void Empty and vast But it is so happy Unaware it won't last So the little dog's happy Chasing its tail Smiles at its failure And not giving a care Then it stops running It stops all its play It gets ready to sleep Knowing its tail will be chased the next day I am smarter than the dog That is for sure But sometimes I wish I was like him Just a little bit more
