..:::::a role model:::::..

I NEED
SOMEONE TO LOOK AFTER ME
A FRIEND TO GO TO
WHEN THINGS ARE BAD
I WANT TO SEE
WHATS INSIDE OF ME
I WANT A FRIEND
THAT I CAN LOOK UP TO

I WANT SOMEONE TO FEED ME
OR TO CLEAN MY CAGE
OR GLANCE INTO MY BEADY RED EYES
AND PET MY WHITE FUR

I WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL
NOT LET ME DIE
BUT LET ME WATCH MY WORLD GO BY

I DON'T WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL SHUDDER
AT MY GLANCE
OR TO BE WITH ANYONE
WITH A PET CAT
I DON'T WANT SOMEONE
THAT WON'T CLEAN MY CAGE
OR THAT WILL "FORGET" TO FEED ME

I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TO
SOMEONE TO LOVE
A ROLE MODEL TO BE MY MASTER
I DON'T WANT TO HIDE
SO THAT I WILL BE SAFE
I WANT TO BE OUT IN THE OPEN

I WANT A ROLE MODEL
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH THE WORST
SO THAT I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO HAS TO GO THROUGH LIFE
I WANT TO BE
FOREVER MORE:

YOUR PET MOUSE

Author notes

i thought it might be fun to be someone's pet mouse which would be very ironic because my fave animal is a cat
lol

Yeah I love cats too, but I also love mice and other animals. It would be so great to have a pet mouse!! They're so cute and fuzzy!!! Not that YOU'RE fuzzy, but I mean, if you're a mouse, then you are... Yeah. I'm confusing myself, so I'm going to go. Nice job, even though I did say no caps in the rules. Oh, it's ok, I don't really mind it, I just try to discourage it. Plus I think it kind of added something to this one, but I can't place the word... Don't you hate it when that happens? Well thanks for entering my contest, and good luck!
