I've creates this facet
I show it to everyone,
The facet of not caring.
It seems to help.
This facet has taken the original "me" away, driven away by obligations.
Obligations that are not even necessary
It has driven myself crazy, to the edge.

This facet, I thought would make me someone,
That it would help me find myself;
But it drove me away from me,
And now I don't even know who I am any more.

It has made of my life a whole mess.
I try to act happy, I try to ignore it.
But nothing goes away, does it?

let me reiterate
that the fish was not just a fish.
it wasn't even about the fish.
if you could see through his scales
the parasitic, plaguing fish
the fishy, foiled, murky eyes
and the five beautiful hooks
hanging in his lip, scarred into his being
you would see yourself
and pain and baggage and acceptance
begging, abandonment, pain, freedom.
facets. scaled facets reflecting in the sunlight.
it was never about the **** fish.
