Crawl crawl crawl
along the hardwood floor
such a simple life
encased in armor
I wish I had
You eat, you sleep,
you mate, you breed,
with no desire, love
not even lust,
so life is easy
for you little one.
But I am human,
I must eat with a bitter tongue
I must dream with nightmares
and must mate with love.
The love so complex,
difficult,
and hard to find
it has left me alone
living a vulnerable
unprotected life.
I wish I had your armor,
so I could hide from the world
and be just like you
