Out of Water
September 17th 2007 10:54
The dark shadows of a silent room, household
All alone not a soul in the world
This is my domain without interruption or schedule
I know in the dawn I will have to climb back to the usual life
Climb back to wake to a different atmosphere
An ocean with no water
I am a fish
Gasping for air
Drowning in the normalcy of the day
Everyone around me
No one to observe the torture
I yearn for the fluid
Of the ink pen, the keyboard
I slowly die as any mortal fish drying up in the sun
I feel suffocated by the society
Freedom trapped by the confines of the tank
I don’t think I can go on in the heat
In the self made fear of a healthy prolonging life
I don’t think I can drift in the polluted streams
What shall I do?
For I am not a goldfish
The memories are unforgettable
That I must endure
While my mere existence
Drowns others in their efforts to help me swim
I wish to drown in the ocean
But I am not
For I am a fish who undoubtedly lives in this water
All alone not a soul in the world
This is my domain without interruption or schedule
I know in the dawn I will have to climb back to the usual life
Climb back to wake to a different atmosphere
An ocean with no water
I am a fish
Gasping for air
Drowning in the normalcy of the day
Everyone around me
No one to observe the torture
I yearn for the fluid
Of the ink pen, the keyboard
I slowly die as any mortal fish drying up in the sun
I feel suffocated by the society
Freedom trapped by the confines of the tank
I don’t think I can go on in the heat
In the self made fear of a healthy prolonging life
I don’t think I can drift in the polluted streams
What shall I do?
For I am not a goldfish
The memories are unforgettable
That I must endure
While my mere existence
Drowns others in their efforts to help me swim
I wish to drown in the ocean
But I am not
For I am a fish who undoubtedly lives in this water
