"I am the rooster"

The hen and the fox
are always mentioned.
But never is the rooster,
I am the rooster.

I am irrelevant to the story,
but the story is all I have.
It's my dream to be in the story.
I want the hen.
And I hate the fox for taking it.

The story might leave me behind.
And then I will have nothing.
I will be nothing.
You must write me into the story,
or else I am just an irrelevant rooster.

One that's there.
One that sees all.
But one that will never be remembered.
I don't want to be a rooster.
