Scared Rabbit

A recurring dream haunts me.
Every kind of animal coming to my door.
Maybe because,
they are the only ones that will not judge me.
Their love is unconditional.
I feed them all but sometimes I feel,
I will not have enough to give them.
And always in a cage,
There is what I can only describe,
as a scared rabbit,
that for some reason I forget about.
I forget to feed and nurture,
and my heart breaks because,
it goes without.
Finally I realize,
that the scared, neglected animal is me.
My heart breaks for this beautiful and precious,
creature.
But I do not know how to give it what,
it needs to live.
