Aquarium

I have outgrown my home, Let's leave the aquarium

There were bubbles on the surface,

Streams of light thrusting through the waves.

Air, air, air! Alas, is this my last breath?

Reasoning will bring me back,

Man-made hope will lead me to the plastic plants,

But where's home when I created a flood on my own grave?

Wish it were only a dream,

The reflection that I kept seeing has been distasteful.

Who are you, who did you become?

A dream of my greatest ploy,

Turned into a nightmare.

Now I cannot even recognize me.

Swimming against no currents, my fins push the glass walls

Trapped in a glass castle, weaving the best tales of the future.

Would you let me swim again and find a home,

Because what's home when I cannot belong?

I breathed quietly and stayed still when I was told,

Dangled love on the surface with no intention to let it all sink in,

You let me drift and catch it alone, you let me think you love me and me alone.

My zero worth, you pulled me out and but let me suffocate in a pretentious hope.

Swimming to find freedom , my fins yearns the sea

Trapped in a glass castle, weaving the only future there is

Would I rather keep swimming in this because this is what I know?

But what's this home when it's only making me want to float?
