This poem is about users, selfish people, who only take …and my two loving cats.

My two cats give me joy

Do you?

They love me unconditionally

Do you?

They wait with great anticipation for my return

Do you?

They greet me in the morning with wonderous eyes

Do you?

They see me as their provider

Do you?

I do not think you do, except the latter

It actually does not matter

With my eyes wide open

I can safely say

…”You are selfish”,

…”You hide behind me”

…”You use me as your safety blanket”

Well, I want to run free

Free, from you

Enough is enough,

You.. I do not need you

I say “break away!”

Away from these barriers called “You User!”

I do not need you…I know my cats do need me!

You…

…You wish you were my cat!

    Interesting. I prefer cats to people myself… you know where you are with a cat. It\’s an interesting comparison, this, and I like the repition in the first half.
