Waiting
You don't know what it's like to be me.
 When I speak, no one understands what I say.
 Laying on the cold hard ground every day is uncomfortable.
 If I'm lucky, sometimes the people who passes by will give me a snack.
 I ask for help, but all they do is give a sympathetic look and walk away.
 Why won't anyone help me?
 The deep wounds on my body is getting more gross each day.
 I want a shower, but not from the pouring rain.
 Snow is fun to play in, but not fun to live in.
 I lay down and wait.
 I'm growing weaker as each day passes.
 That special someone will come and rescue me in this place called h***.
 Months passes by and my hope slowly fades...
 Today feels different.
 I can't move, my eyes are slowly closing.
 I feel someone carrying me,
 It's not cold anymore...
 What is this? Warmth?
 Someone is stroking my hair. No one has done that in a long time.
 I open my eyes and I see bars in front of me with people looking inside.
 Attention!!!
 I hear the words "You'll be coming to your new home soon." 
 I wag my tail in happiness and I lay down on the warm blanket to take a nap.
