I have been here so long

That I now have come of age

How am I to find a home

When I never leave my space

Does anybody even know

I exist here in this place?

I know you may have meant well

When you pulled me from death’s door

But instead of finding homes for us

You just keep getting more

All your time is spent with us

Feeding, cleaning and such things

You can’t even take the time

For a phone call when it rings

I wish you could just concentrate

On the ones already here

To help us find a family

Who’ll love and hold us dear

So I beg you take a minute

To see the world from our sad eyes

And realize that your plans for us

Seem to be just full of lies

It’s not that I would like to die

But this is no life to me

I’d rather be asleep above

At least then I would be free
