I’m your pet. Put me in a jar. Shake me up make me fly make me spark. The world- a scary place; This home you’ve made- so sound, so safe. My wings, they were broken, you helped pull them- Apart. I buzz. I flutter. You are my god. You are my mother. You are beauty. I am the creature. I learn;you are my teacher. Tap the glass for your Show-and-Tell; I try to hide But you know me too well. This haven you’ve got me contained in; I don’t know how long I don’t know, can I make it I’m bare, I am bared I’m naked. I light up for you I try I try I try for you, my keeper. You created my habitat and a bottlecap to drink from How long can I hold up With you my little helper.; My shelter - A leaf and a twig Your one eye- You smile so big. I am. Just an insect, in your home you’ve made so perfect. I am. A bug. In the arms of your terrible love. This love has got me under thumb Poke some holes so I can breathe; I want to go - But I can never leave. You watch over me ……
