Wait

Wait! Where are you going?

Why can't I come?

If you leave me now I'll do 
something dumb

I really don't mean to be such a 
grouch

But if need be I'll rip up the 
couch

You better listen I'm not fooling 
around

Unless you want toilet paper all 
over the ground

To go with that paper you know 
what I'll do?

You guessed it mister, I'll even 
leave poo

I'll get in the garbage, I'll tear 
it all up

I'm not going to take it, oh no 
not this pup

I'll bark and I'll bark and make 
such a noise

An incredible racket that no one 
enjoys

So really you see you don't 
have a choice

In my world honey, you don't 
have a voice

I am the master and always will 
be

so go get my ball, you're taking 
me

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
