Pit Bull Poems

This poem is by the author of this site Jennifer Stelter

I hope you like

Born a Pit Bull

I was born a pit bull

I did not ask to be

this is the life god has chosen for me

what have I done to deserve this fate

you put me in a cage and teach me to hate

I dream of a day when I get to be free

I would be so kind just wait and see

untill then I keep my dreams close to my heart

I wake up everyday in hopes of a new start

I dont want to be bad

I wasnt born like this

but you took me from my mother and

threw me in the pits.

somehow I won but I recieved no prize

just made it to the next night and a dog of another size

Im not sure if its worth the pain that I know

but sadly I love you so this time Ill go

I just wanted to make you happy

for I thought you were my friend

but with the days passing I wish it was the end

you said this is my last fight so I cant wait to go

I feel things will get better so maybe theres hope

I am a little older and wish I was faster but

I will try my best for you are my master

this fight is harder then I thought, and I just cant seem to win

the years of pain are starting to kick in

its not looking good for me as I lay on the ground

I cant get this one off me

and cant make a sound

dont let me die dont let this be the end

prove to me this one time that you are my friend

with my eyes im telling you what I need to say

and with my last breath

I look to you to see you turn and walk away

see I was born a pit bull

and did not ask to be

but I am in a better place in heaven where I can be free

My Fear..

In my head there is nothing but rain
I wish the sun would come out and take the pain
My heart is hurting from the beast within
The beast that will break out and show it's evil sin

It's hard to sleep when you fear your dreams
Trying all night not to wake up and scream
I'm controlled by my fear in every way
I don't know why but I'm haunted day by day

Being this way is no way to be
Will someone unlock the cage and set me free
Captive of the things I've done wrong
The sins that keep me from being strong

No one knows the horrible things I've been through
I always say Im alright But it's never true
One day I will leave here and never come back
I'm waiting for that day so my things are packed

Sitting here thinking about that place
Somewhere I can show my real true face
Untill that day I will be here
Captive of my sins and controlled by my fear

A Pit Bulls' Plea
(author unknown)
You made me what I am today,
courage at its best.
You wanted me to know no fear,
a cut above the rest.
Not only did I master that,
I've thrown in loyalty too.
Look past my eyes into my soul,
you know I'd die for you.
I'll watch your kids and your house,
your praise will be my crown.
Ask what you will I'll do my best,
I'll never let you down.
But some of you don't like me,
I'm sure I don't know why.
The only thing I'm guilty of
is courage, love and try.
But still they want to see me go,
they want my breed to end.
Will you sit idly by,
you whom I call a friend?
You made me what I am today,
you never saw me waiver.
I've done my best to keep you safe.
Won't you please return the favor.
Plea of "The American Pit Bull Terrier"
(by Rich Woomer)
Behind our fences...in our yard.
Never wanting or willing to hear the good,
Only wishing to outcast and condemn us for
what they hear we are.
Most will look and point and wait.
Just in hope that someone will leave open the gate.
Not so they may notify our master,
But rather to lie in wait of what they feel
to be certain disaster.
We will probably never be able to change
what you believe,
Only hope that you will try to conceive
A different opinion in your mind,
one that will give a fair chance to our kind.
For we are not much different than you,
simply giving complete devotion to,
our masters and to our domain,
For it is here that we wish to remain.
There are many who love us and show us no barrier,
We are a breed commonly known as the
American Pit Bull Terrier.
And even though we may never get our removal.
Upon approaching residence with a warning sign,
Please adhere to it for your sake and for mine.
For it you choose to ignore it,
We know society and the media will certainly be for you
To take on this endeavor,
As for us the alternative may be simply
Extinction is forever. An Ode to the American Pit Bull Terrier
(by Solitaire)
From Ireland and England, into America they came;
Brought by fanciers and families intrigued by the game.
As combatants, warriors and gladiators of the sport;
Valued for gameness, ability, mouth, and the sort.
With feirceness and courage beyond compare,
They face their rivals with a peircing glare.
The sound of percussion made all throughout,
Seems the only emitted with each clout.
They were bred to win, whatever it takes;
Never to quit, despite the stakes.
Eager, relentless, wholehearted they'll go;
Revealing bliss by tail wagging to and fro.
The desire to trimph, even when circumstance is poor,
Separates this breed from others; a quality to adore.
In contrast to their character as portrayed above,
The American Pit Bull Terrier can exude love.
They are gentle, sweet-tempered, humble and meek;
Can be lively, vivacious, delightful and sleek.
Effusive and charming, total characters they are;
Intelligent and sly, and can get away with far.
Living to gratify and please their masters,
They will forsake life to protect from disaster.
The most misunderstood of their kind;
Due to ignorance; so we pay no mind.
They are noble, heroic and bad to the bone,
Formidable, muscular, and eager to be shown.
Epitomizing what a dog should be,
They reign supreme, you would have to agree.
