Scared
My oh my why did the dog go for me
Was a hazy Sunday morning as early as can be
I started jogging when the dog jumped on my arm
Was frightened as hell but I just tried to stay calm
Please get it off me now
But the dog clung on and began to growl
It then got off me I thought that it had gone
But within seconds it had pounced straight back upon
I walked away with my hands over my face
Trying to walk at a very brisk pace
I turned around the owner had disappeared
Not even an apology when she knew I was so scared
I walked away shaking and angry with fear
Just praying that the dog had just disappeared
All my confidence has gone I don’t want to go back out
Looking in all directions to see if anymore dogs are about
I know I’m being silly but I just can’t let it go
I just wished I hadn’t ever gone jogging as my heart is full of woe.
