let me be a dog, head on your knee
basking in the glow
of a hand on the back of my neck
and a voice saying “good girl”
is it so wrong to want
safety, protection, love
at the feet of my master
when submission is my freedom
and peace my reward

Jessica lives in the rolling foothills of North Carolina. Writing has always been a hobby of hers for as long as she can remember and books trusted friends, but that's not all she does!
When she isn't writing, she's looking after her son, researching random things, growing plants, making magic, reading too many books at once, or listening to all the music she can get.
Her goal is to become a licensed massage therapist one day and work from home, but until then, she's living her best life where she is.

I understand this and we all want a relationship where we feel safe and taken care of and don’t have to worry about being secure with that person in our most vulnerable moments. One day I know you will have this with someone.

I really like this. It’s eerily close to some themes in songs I’ve been listening to.
Little song rant: Love love love Mitski’s “I Bet on Losing Dogs” (for so many reasons, but every single word in that song is like a dagger to my heart. Sometimes I see myself as the dog, sometimes I see myself as the person betting) and there’s another song (“Quit Fucking Around” by Francis Delirium) that has a part that goes “I’ll stop following you around/If you want me to/But lost dogs stay at your hands and feet/When you bring them food” and there’s a few others like this, I just can’t recall their titles now.

It’s amazing how many songs carry such similar themes. I appreciate the song rants as it gives me more wonderful music to check out, so thanks for sharing!
