she herself felt lost and small
as if noone saw her at all
she found a kitten alone outside
then brought it home so they could hide
to her room she snuck it in
and tucked it softly under her chin
so warm and cozy against her face
for once she felt she had a place
the next morning brought her mother's roar
she could not keep the kitten anymore
railed her mother throw it out
didnt not care how it was tossed about
so the little girl teary, no shoes on feet
carried the baby across the street
left it at her neighbors door
rang the bell
then was no more
