Fish Poem by Destiny Avaritia

Stumbling around in the dark
Like a fish left for the shark
Here I bleed
That’s when the sharks feed
I start to cry
And the fish die
I feel all alone
Fish eaten to bone
I think my heart’s a dud
You see something rise, blood
Hurt inside
There’s no alibi
I feel dead as I rest my head
All the fish…dead
Long sleepless nights
The fish died without a fight
I sit and think to myself
They were scurried around like Santa’s elves
Digging my early grave
I guess the fish just caved
Cut open to bleed
They didn’t take their parent’s heed
A gun will end it all
They died without a call
Goodbye world I knew you well
Before me and the fish went to hell
