Two different Zoos
You are nothing like me,
I am nothing like you.
We are two different species,
In two different zoos.
I don’t commit evil.
I don’t commit crimes.
I try to help people have good lives.
Your evil, untamed and wild as can be.
You don’t like people but you still love me.
I try to be the best I can be.
I work so hard and I love that people love me.
So watch out tiger because I am ready.
I don’t care what you do.
I don’t care what you say.
I don’t let people bring me down and I like it that way.
You make a big scene, with your teeth and your claws.
The problem is that you can’t accept your flaws.
I hope that one day your heart will thaw.
I am tamed and free.
I can be wild but I don’t want to be.
I’m just like you without the personality.
I know that you feel wrong about others.
Sometimes it’s very hard to love each other.
And sometimes it’s hard to love yourself, let alone everyone else.
So I know I have to learn from you
Instead of you learning from me,
But now I am begging on my knees.
Daddy, try to learn from me please.
