Gone By

I've been a bunny, a kitten,
a baby seal,
a hedgehog, a bear and a tiger;
but most of all I have been me.
Sleeves shredded
sunset pale,
an accessory to the main crime.
My Bonnie face
and my Clyde armour-
no murder or money
just dusty road.

Stay you Jennifer, and never try to be anyone else. Being a bunny or a kitten is cute, and a lovely animal to be, so true and pure :)
