Creature
You think I'm foolish
That I don't see the games you play
You keep me on a leash
So that I don't wander too far when you aren't interested
But close by when you're lonely
I don't handle leashes well though
And I'm not as loyal as you think
I can only tolerate so much neglect before I go in search of a new master
Because all I am to you and the next guy is a pet
A creature kept for your entertainment
I suppose that's all I've ever been to anyone
