A Life Worth Keeping

Someone rescued me from the dark world.
I must been hanging;
In a world with no spark in the light.
The mark is upon my emotions.
Cobwebs prevented me from falling.
Someone must have saw me calling.
Did I look sad?
I did not feel mad.
Must have been the strand of yarn;
Stuck in my mouth.
There are traces of who I want to be;
And it seems there is a new sound in my mind.
Many eyes come to watch my soul.

Choices have come.
Voices were heard.
Clouds are never seen;
In the box that must have burned.
Rust fills the walls;
That have many who never speak to me.
It is like a ship;
That is never free from the storm.
I was born into a bitter world.
Can someone bring me home?
Like a dog who lost a bone in the back yard.
Then I roam;
With no life to grieve with.

I may have to release myself.
Will I know for the first time;
When the cold finally goes away?
Years had gone by;
When the road only began on my birth.
Am I last in line?
Will my eyes catch smiles?
Just let me hear someone;
Say hello without being ignored.
Can someone hear me?
When can I see tears of joy?
The world I live in;
Is not what always seems from the outside.

I can feel many being grabbed away.
Imagine me filling a brand new soul.
Can you at least try?
Give me a chance;
To stab at someone's heart.
Think I hit a snag in the road.
Hey, who stole me;
And put me into this dreaded cage?
If only the pain can go away.
Another bitter winter gone by;
And no one gave me a cheer of laughter.
Life is filled with many chapters.

I can hear my claws grind the glass.
Why am I so sad to see souls just pass by?
Old ones bring winter.
Young children praise the light.
Please raise me.
Read me as I am.
Dream away as this is not my home.
I want to scream.
Get me out of this box;
And I can bring a smile to your face.
Sometimes I feel like I fail;
And, yet, I succceed for who I am.
Help me;
Please help me to reach for someone.

Just as I thought I failed;
I felt a set of fingers scale my fur.
The smell of freedom.
Bells rang in my soul.
I felt a pair of lips;
Kiss me on my head.
Just as I bend backwards to see downward;
I saw the many disappear in the distance.
As the law says;
Those who deem no hearts sacred;
Are left in the dark.
Someone must have saw me crying for freedom.
I guess I am a life worth keeping.
