STEELE'S LAMENT

You, wolfdog, took everything from me.
My love, my glory, my work… you took all my fame.
Now, I suppose you are happy to see
I’ve got nothing …  I live in a shame…
 

I worked so hard to be good,
I achieved my goals. I was the best.
But noone really understood…
I’m one of you…

I feel hunger, thirst and pain.
I’ve got feelings that can be hurt.
And now, everything is in vain.
Just because of you.
 

I’m not a monster. I’m dog too.
I made a lot of mistakes.
But … now I beg you,
Just see who I really am.
 

I know, you were an outcast, right?
Now, our lives switched quickly.
Like day being followed by night…
But for you, morning came… for me just darkness.
 

I am bad. Or everybody says so,
Selfish, big headed, egoistic bad one…
Do they bother to learn more ‘bout me? No.
They turned away so quickly. I used to be a hero…
 

But remember, others like to forget.
Today you are the greatest, but tommorow you are nobody…
Enjoy your glory. You have it, yet…
There are worse things than the death.
 

I don’t expect you will understand. Noone will.
Nobody wants to...
But still…
I have feelings, too…

I am sorry…
