Dear Fish

by Stargirl

A fish feeling lost in the vast ocean

Desiring a friend but no one likes him

Every day alone and not having fun

Wanting a good life but his is just dim

Labels, names cutting his heart with a knife

An easy target, hard strikes just persist

Strong waves pushing, draining his very life

Other see, as if he doesn't exist

Judgements given like weather so unfair

Can't be like this, his life already mapped

Most times like riding waves in despair

Fighting for dear life, not wanting to be trapped

Go on, dear fish, be whoever you want

It's your life after all, go on and flaunt
