Dead Cat

I saw a dead cat, motionless! in the middle of the road. Nobody stopped to look at it. Some ran over it, like it meant nothing. I took some time out, and pulled the corpse aside. I saw its paw move a bit; the burden of pain. I think I saw a cat take it's last breath. 9 lives flashing before the green, bulgy eyes. I took some time, and sat next to it. Is this how death looks like for the loners? In the last moments, waiting for a stranger's kindness. If it is, let death be kinder than life was!

So, I never went to the Zoo again


 Remember the time you visited the zoo for the first time? All those different animals and birds right in front of you. Magical, wasn't it? Years later I got cancer and the doctor told me I should be extra careful. Don't go outside much, you have a higher chance of getting an infection.
So I did.
I stayed in my house most of the time. I saw my siblings, cousins, and my friends go out with others, having the time of their lives. And I thought ''How come I underestimated this all this time?''

The smaller things in life seemed to be big deals. Dreams even. I wish I could walk out and soak up all the sunlight. I wish I could go to the grocery store and buy things for myself. I wish I could ride the bike and feel the wind in my hair (I was bald). "Man...I wish I could get out of this house and walk around and touch some trees" 

"I wish my hair curled up once again" (I hated my curly hair)

Yeah...Long story short. I survived cancer. And I never wanted to see animals locked up for entertainment. I never went to the zoo again.
