That's sad 😥

I’ve been in pain for a long time now. I know you can see the growth on my leg which has gotten bigger over time. I know you see me struggle to perch and to walk. But I don’t know why…why do you not help me? Why do you turn the other way? When your children have a stuffed up nose or a stomach ache you help them. What have I done so wrong that you let me suffer? You are my flock. You are my family. Why do I continue to hurt? You said that someone was coming to pick me up today. Someone that could help. It’s been so long. I’m so tired. The lady has a nice smile. A gentle voice. She tries to comfort me but I’m in so much pain. I spent the night in her house in a big comfortable cage. I didn’t have to perch to get away from the filth and the bugs. I was able to rest my leg…my body. She sang to me and told me that she loved me. I didn’t trust her but she didn’t care. She said she loved me. I’m now in a carrier going to someone called a vet. Someone who can help me. This lady is doing what you should have done a long time ago. Did you not love me like she loves me? Was I not good enough to be part of your flock? After the exam which I hated and the X-rays which I hated even more, I was diagnosed with cancer. Because you waited too long to call this nice lady, the cancer has taken over my body. They say there is nothing that can be done and it would be best to put me out of my misery. This kind lady is holding me. She’s crying. I feel her love. I was with you for many years. Why must I go in a stranger’s arms? She’s a stranger and yet I think she loves me more than you ever did. She’s holding me in a blanket telling me she loves me and that my life mattered. She’s crying the tears you should have cried and yet she’s only known me a few days. Did I matter to you at all? The people I thought were my flock? She is stroking my head…giving me kisses…I feel warm…I feel loved…I’m tired but I mattered.
