Damn this Discrepancy

Is so hard to be a dog

Ruffling my ears  grabbing my paws

I always have a bed

And I wait alone to be fed.

Pondering my debt I cannot account for discrepancies 

Yet my tail wags as an accord

To love me.

My heart tells me I need someone to give

But it is more than they can

I keep trying but I get knocked again

Is as I figured from within my tent

Laboured with cushions provided anonymously to protect my fall

How do I tell you that I am not a dog at all.

I can growl but not bite as my owner tells me

He draws blood from his conquests but cannot get to the soul.

But regardless of his dicrepencies he lets me see.

I get a brush and it tickles my mind

To remind me I am not whole.

Every day he is there and I greet him with my paws on his bed

My smiling dogface.
