Admetus
I am a funny tom who loves playing
I
wonder why the other toms don’t let me play with them
I hear their laughter from a distance
I see them teasing
each other playfully
I want to join in with them
I am a funny tom who loves playing
I pretend that I’m joining in
with the fun
I feel sad when I sit on the sidelines, just watching
I touch the air, wanting to be a part of tag
I
worry my whole life will be spent watching, never joining in
I cry the nights when I’m by myself
I am a funny
tom who loves playing
I understand that that I am not popular
I say everyone should be given a fair chance
I dream
that one day I will be noticed
I try to act like I’m fine living in solitude
I hope one day somebody, anybody,
will notice me
I am a funny tom who loves playing
