I'm not furry, but I am.
My blood may be cold, but I am.
I'm not your average pet, but I am.
I wont' wag my tail, but I am.
My face lacks expression, but I am.
I deserve to be treated with respect because I am.
I deserve love and kindness because I am.
Because I never received all these things I deserve, I now, am not.
