I feel like I'm an animal in a zoo.

People do think of me as fascinating but I don't get respect, prestige, authority, or power for who I am. I'm honorable. I'm not a pathetic narcissist trying to take power I don't deserve. Those liars are the ones in power now. Instead I'm like an exhibit at a zoo. I'm like a tiger People can watch. No one cares if I'm starving or alone. No one cares if I've been taken from where I belong. That's why people know that I am alone and withering away but they assume someone else will come take care of me as I slowly die in a place that was never where I belong.
