Look at me
under duress
I am pushed
into the sea
to drown
forever in the skies
forever in your eyes
innocence
under gone
transformation
so benign
I am led onward
through the
broken sea
By a man
with fish parts
ahead of me
I long to be like
him
but forever
I am different
my streak
sets me apart
stubborn, shyness
and doubt
take over
and smash
me to the floor
I am left alone
to breath
no more
and I die
alone in the sea
