I turned into a housecat
I laid down one day, in the lazy afternoon sunlight
Daydreaming, thinking of shiny things
Enjoying lazy days
I woke up and realized I want to prowl again
I want to be hungry
I need to remember that drive to fend for myself
I need to feel something
And I want my claws back
Please lock the door behind me when I leave, or I will come slinking in again
To curl up in your blankets
I am not yours.
