Born a Pit Bull
I was born a pit bull and did not ask to be.
This is the life that was chosen for me.
What have I done to deserve this fate?
You locked me in a cage and teach me to hate.
I dream of a day when I get to be free.
I would be so kind, just wait and see.
Until then, I keep my dreams close to my heart.
I wake up every day in hopes of a new start.
I don't want to be bad, I wasn't born like this,
but you took me from my mother and threw me in the pits.
Somehow I won but I received no prize,
only to make it to the next night, and a dog of another size.
I'm not sure if it's worth the pain that I know,
but sadly I love you, so this time I'll go.
I just wanted to make you happy, for I thought you were my friend,
but with the years passing, I only pray for an end.
You said this is my last fight, so I cant wait to go,
I feel things will get better, so maybe there's hope.
I am a little older and wish I was faster,
but I will try my best, for you are my master.
This fight is harder than I thought, I just can't seem to win.
The years of pain are starting to kick in.
It's not looking good for me, as I lay on the ground.
I can't get this dog off me, and can't make a sound.
Don't let me die, don't let this be the end,
prove to me this one time that you are my friend.
With my eyes, I can only tell you what I need to say.
With my last breath, I see you turn and walk away.
See I was born a pit bull and did not ask to be,
but I am in a better place in heaven, where I can be free.
