The Forbidden Experiment

I stepped carefully,
pushing aside a tree limb;
No sound would I amit.
For I was alone.
Always alone.

I listen closer,
To the slither of a snake,
Making it's own trail.
Again I am alone.
Always alone.

I continue my journey,
Trying to leave no footprint.
I don't want the Earth's creatures to follow.
I want to be alone.
Always alone.

I've reached my end;
Long chainlinks farther than I can see.
They burn me, make me jolt when I touch them.
Calmly, I am alone.
Always alone.

I can see the Otherside.
Never have I wanted it...
Until today, that is.
Sobbing, I am alone.
Always alone.

I cannot see through my tears.
I can feel though.
I am grabbed roughly.
I am not alone.
Not alone.

Words I don't understand are spoken.
A hand is held out to me.
Holding my hand out, our fingers match up.
I am not alone!
Not alone!

Loud voices yell,
And cold hands prod.
Everything is too bright.
In pain, I'm not alone.
Not alone.

Everything is getting worse.
Yelling, they tell me I am stupid.
Whatever that means.
They won't leave me alone.
Alone.

I am thrown in a dark cage.
Their curiousity is satisfied.
I think I will die here.
Am I alone?
I am frightened.
