I am the pig

I am the pig

and you are the wolf

waiting at the door

to gobble me up

and chew on my bones

then spit me out

and nobody is big enough

or see's enough

to keep it from happening.

This poem reminds me of the book we read in English class in was called Speak. I think it relates to speak because of the words like I am the pig, I think that it means that she or he is helpless and nobody can see or help. Melinda Sordino is the main character in speak, she is very shy and doesn't have a lot of friends, this boy named Andy, tortures her at school and ruins her reputation. He lurks in the hallways like she is his prey, and nobody notices. This poem is amazing.
