I swim in my prison
Of shallow water this
Prison a bowl, all I do
Is go in circles, getting
Dizzy as its the only way
To go.

I spend my days in this
Watery cell, three meals
A day, locked up but I did
Nothing wrong. I see you
Smug as you have open
Space. I just swim around
For the 10552 time.

I wish to swim in the open
Sea, but I was taken with
No wish to be in this cage,
Tiny thing which you  have
Brought for me.

I will dream of open spaces
Water further than the eye
Can see, but then I hit the
Glass wall of my cage an it
Is now my limited existence
In this bowl and me...
