This is the home where the buffalo roam,
This is a do or die.
You do what you gotta do.
And even if you have to kill a little bit.
It doesn't matter, you care about you and the herd.
Do or die, You have to defend them.
You just can't leave them.
They are your family.
The herd has decreased by the tens. The humans keep taking your family. Should you risk getting them back? Should you spare your own capture just for them? Heck, your perfectly happy here. Somewhat, at least. You hate the humans. Breaking you til you have no more spirit. Forcing you to carry such loads. Like you were slaves, like you were donkeys. But even so, the donkeys don't mind. You take your herd to another grazing spot. There are humans around. You can't risk it.
No more do or die.
Your Person loves you.
You miss them,
but you can never go back.
They would kill you.
Being a traitor.
But they'll understand.
Or is that what you think?
Even if you did,
Your owner would punish you.
Now, you don't want that
Do you?
Life in the stable is everything and more. But could you go back? No. No, that's what you keep telling yourself. No. But, you like it here. Don't have to starve. You could even think they love you. Do they? Maybe some of them. But not all of them. Why? You haven't got a clue. Because you are a horse. That's why. And you do like the advantages of being a pet. No. See there you go again. Saying No all the time. You are not a pet. Or are you. Could you go back. Do you love them more, or your new life?
The life you have known,
Like a little kid under the covers.
Safe. Spoiled.
But, now you are grown.
Now you have a life.
You are leaving the nest.
But don't worry,
Your parents call you.
And you are with the best.
The best of the best.
And their owners.
You wanted to come here. Even when you got a brochure. You are going. Your Parents said yes. You can take your horse, for business, or you don't. You can ride the horses there. Doesn't matter. You are finally going. Your wildest dreams come true. As you pack up, you stop. Think, stare. You get to get out of the house. Just like College. But, it is college, with horses.
