How come in a sea full of fish I can feel so alone.
Drowning in the happiness of others,
Gasping for air when I have gills to breathe.
Shiny scales bring you nothing when your heart is full of coal,
Yet the vision of another’s eyes tell a lie.

How do I see clearly when my mind is full of broken dreams and empty promises.
What do I do when the fish that are closest to me are the ones tying rocks around my fins,
Fighting hard to pull me under and possess me as their souvenir.
my every movement,
My every thought,
Controlled by me yet not mine.
Taken over by the stranger that looks my way.

Invisible thorns and poisonous darts surround what is ment to be my heart,
Yet my mind is a playground for endangered species,
Ready to inspect my every nerve ending as if I was there dinner.

How can I feel so alone...
Because no one sees me,
Too blinded by their own thoughts and mini televisions that teach them how to breathe.
If only we could take a minute ..
And just help me breathe.
