It's been a while since a poem was posted. Just made this poem, so it's likely bad, lol.
- Shay (They/it) 🐾
Tw/cw: animal abuse (not mentioned by name), biting, scratching, growling, and hissing. [Not sure if all of these need warnings, but they are there, so yeah].
We are caged like
Dangerous wild animals.
We are chained up like
Aggressive tamed animals.
Not wild and not tamed.
We bite at the cage
And the chains
Hoping it would help
Us get free from them.
Not wild and not tamed.
We growl as people get close
To our cage and our chains.
We hiss as they get closer
To our cage and our chains.
Not wild and not tamed.
We are caged and chained up
To protect others from us.
However, it doesn't protect
Us from ourselves.
Not wild and not tamed.
We aren't safe from ourselves.
We bite and scratch ourselves.
To feel something other than
The fear and anger that comes from being
Not wild and not tamed.
Next poem to post. Kinda rushed through. Have we being used.
Tw/cw: Chained up animal, caged animal, growling mention, biting mention, clawing mention, hissing mention.
- Shay (They/it)
Chained up and caged.
Not human is what we are.
Not wild and not tamed.
We growl and bite.
We hiss and claw.
Not wild and not tamed.
We aren't a pet.
We aren't free.
Not wild and not tamed.
Chained up to a fence.
Caged in like a threat.
Not wild and not tamed.
Poem number whatever, lol.
Older poem, wrote this a while ago.
Tw: Death, and none others that I can think of.
Life is unfair
Time flies
You love and you lose
That's the three phrases
You need to learn
To understand
Life isn't fair
Good people have bad things happen
Bad people have good things happen
Time flies
It feels slow at times
But it flies really fast
You love and you lose
You never know when someone
You love will die
Life is unfair
Time flies
You love and you lose
Tw/cw: blood, fangs, and claws, I guess.
- Shay (They/it) | more werecreature hours I guess
I feel the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I see the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I taste the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I smell the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I love the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
I miss the blood
Dripping from my
Fangs and claws
Idk what number of poems I have posted this is.
Tw/cw: anger mention, none others I can think of, let me know if you find any more
- Shay (They/it) | using for not Zuki related tag (just for "me")
I roll over
To show you
My belly
To make you
Realize that I
Mean no real harm
I roll over
To say
I'm sorry
To say
You're right
I'm wrong
I roll over
And hope that
Maybe just maybe
You won't leave
That you won't
Hate me
I roll over
Cause I'm
A bad dog
Cause I'm
Not right
I'm sorry
I roll over
Cause I want
Your love and attention
Cause I don't want
Your fear or anger
I'm sorry
6th poem to post.
Tw/cw: fighting dog mentions, trauma (hinted at), abuse (hinted at), and aggressive dog mentions.
I'm a fighting dog.
That's what I was
Made and trained for.
But you lie and say
"We did our best
To give her a
Good life and love."
You act innocent
When you are the
Ones who made me
Like this, a monster.
Yet somehow you
Make it out to be
Me who is the problem.
I'm a fighting dog.
Made and trained to be.
I do what you say
I do what you make me.
I am aggressive cause
Of what you did
I wish I wasn't.
5th poem to post. Another dog & wolf related poem, lol. A lot of my poems are canine related cause of me being a canine kin [specifically wolfdog kin].
Tw/cw: biting mention, abuse hinted at(?), and I think that's all. Let me know if you find any tw/cw I didn't add that I need to.
- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it/xe) [trying something new with my sign off thing on my poem posts]
I think that
I should roll over
And whine sorry
Over and over again
But instead I growl
I bare my teeth
And snap at you
I bite and growl
I should roll over
I should say sorry
I should be a good dog
A good wolf
But I'm not
I growl and bite
I'm a bad dog
A bad wolf
I should roll over
I growl and snap
I should whine sorry
I bare my teeth and bite
I'm sorry I'm not good
I bite even when
You try to help me
For I'm scared
I'm sorry I'm bad
I growl even when
You're kind for I don't
Know when you'll stop
3rd & 4th poems to post. Posting these together cause they are related.
Tw/cw: violence(?), tearing skin, and bone mention.
I want to bare my teeth
And tear at 'my' skin
Until all that's left
Is the bone underneath
For the bone will be
More right than the skin
Despite it still
Being wrong
But I cannot
For this body's
Teeth are not sharp
Enough to tear the skin
So I bare my teeth
At the image in the mirror
For it is wrong
It is not right
-------------------------------------------------------
I want to bare my claws
And tear at 'my' skin
Until all that's left
Is the bone underneath
For the bone will be
More right than the skin
Despite it still
Being wrong
But I cannot
For this body's
'Nails' are not sharp
Enough to tear the skin
So I bare my claws
At the image in the mirror
For it is wrong
It is not right
- Zuki Shay Lupo (They/it)
Second poem to post.
Tw/cw: abuse but not named. Nothing else I can think of but let me know if you find anymore.
Another canine/dog related poem.
Trying something different with the read more thing being after the title of the poem.
I love like a dog
Always going back
To people who hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
Always letting people
I love hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
Always waiting for
People to hurt me
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
I love like a dog
I hurt the people
I love just the same
Cause that's what I
Was taught that love is
First poem to post, lol.
No tw or cw I can think of.
This poem is very dog related.
The formatting is different on here than it was on my notes app, so it might seem weird. Although it might have seemed weird anyway, lol.
You taught me to fight
Yet when I fight
You label me a
Bad dog
You taught me to bite
But when I bite
You call me a
Bad dog
You taught me to growl
Yet when I growl
You say I'm a
Bad dog
You taught me this
But when I listen
You declare me a
Bad dog
You taught me
Yet I listen and
You insist I'm a
Bad dog
You taught me
How to be a
Bad dog
Looking through a few poems I made. Would anyone want me to post some of them? Some would probably need tw or cw, lol. I use poems to vent. They also wouldn't be that good.
Just curious if anyone would want to see my poems, lol.
