Rabbit

It was as sunny as two scoops of raisins

A Saturday worth playing in

We go to the park, mom and my brothers

I lag behind because it’s just a bad habit

I stayed behind unnoticed, staring at a rabbit

Mommy calls back to me and so I grab it

It was white and sickly I think

My mom made a big stink

I put it down then I frown and pout

I’m scolded by mom I cry and sob

It was sickly I think, all by itself

I wanted to save it, take him home so it can get better

The next day on a Sunday we visited the same park

I see what look like the same rabbit but it was the dead

I felt sad all day, it was the first time I felt that kind of sadness

I couldn’t stop thinking of the poor little rabbit

I stay sad all week, my teachers thought I was sick

I am now an adult and I am the kinda person there is a name for

I can’t help it for I do not ever want to feel like I did that day

I am now

A cat lady
