A tear filled poem... let me know what you think.?

I am involved in a German Shepherd Rescue. We often get dogs in that are so aggressive from abuse that we cannot re-home them. They have to be put to sleep. This is a poem for "Jake", I only spent 6 hours with him but he truly touched my heart. What do you think? I know it is not perfect.

As I cross over the bridge

with the help of a human hand,

I look back on my life

and I don't understand.

I was small and cute

a bundle of joy,

As I grew older

you called me "bad boy".

You spoke in a language

I did not understand,

"Bad boy" seemed great

then I was hit with your hand.

I would scream at you

and tell you NO,

You told me I was stupid

and I needed to go.

I feel afraid now

and all alone,

And that kid tried to hurt me

at my other home.

In a box on the road

they took me away,

I have to protect myself

from those human hands.

They reach in and

start moving me around,

My god what's happening

I want to go home!

Stay away

I don't want to go,

Don't take me back

you just don't know.

I am fighting for my life

my language you don't understand,

I have been hurt over and over

by those same human hands.

Please stop now,

just let me be,

You would understand

if you were me.

I am feeling sleepy

and it's kind of good,

It doesn't hurt anymore

like you told me it would.

Now I feel it's time to go

I will walk over the bridge nice and slow,

I can hear them tell me

"the humans are nice here", hurry up and go.

Do you really think

there is a human for me?

There are so many

I am afraid you see.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I hope you understand,

I am running to my human

She's the one with no hands.

I won't look back

My best friend is near,

This is my dogs life

I am finally here!!
