Zoo

How long do I have to stand here?

I recently went to the zoo, some of the animals looked very sad.

Being gawked, and looked at all day doesn’t really seem like my cup of tea, to be honest.

Sometimes I feel like that sad polar bear, I feel like we all feel like that sometimes.

-standing in a cage on display for everyone to look at you. Judge you,

See all of your mistakes, your flaws, pick you apart like savages.

They get off when you fall down- wait and see what you will do.

Will you learn from your mistakes? Will you grow from your mistakes?

Careful….. They are watching.
