I feel like a cow being led to slaughter
I catch a glance of a knife
and know you brought me here to lose my life
I try to break free
This isnt the way it should be
I was taught to trust
Yet here we are my meat you lust
You want to rip me apart
But first you stabbed me with a damn dart
To murder my soul
is your final goal
My soul is cracking
yet i dont know what im lacking
I start to stumble
finally i tumble
I see the knife
and know im gonna loose my life.

some clever things in here, but I would try to be less blunt and incorperate some metaphors, or at least similes.

But first you stabbed me with a damn dart  <--- i actually laughed out loud when i read that. it's funny.

couplets... Pope would wince.

It's ok, though. A little bland, but OK.

davidmerriman- glad you found that line amusing... glad to inspire laughter. In fact many people like that line, but never heard anyone say they laughed out loud at it... Good for you.
aran- glad you thought it was ok, and thanks for being honest. Do you have suggestions to make it better?? let me know if you do.
