The Fight Within

 

 

Born to Love

My purpose to please

 

Kiss the face of a child

Heal the wounds of a friend

 

I must have been mistaken

For I fear my master's hand

 

I show him love

His response is rejection

 

Children, they fear me

Others remain distant

 

My kindness is shunned

Ferocity rewarded

 

I yearn for acceptance

Cry for inclusion

 

My master shows disgust

He says I am weak

 

Forced to fight my brother

To kill is to please

 

Should I lose the next fight

In death, I will know peace
