Up until "The pain you give", this is very good, but I'm not sure lengthening the lines thereafter really works - keeping four-syllable lines throughout might have given a better rhythm, I think. And what the public at large are going to make of "paws" is anyone's guess... =;)

Well, when I saw the title, I thought it was a suicide poem XD but upon reading it, my fears were quenched - no one was going to die. Whooo! *cough* Ok, what do I say? Its another wonderful poem, "off from my paws" from the Cougress.
