I am
I am a tadpole in a pool of sharks,
I wonder if the walls will ever break,
I hear distance sounds of friendship,
I see people laughing and,
Always having fun,
I want that life so faraway.
I pretend I have many friendships,
I feel locked away,
I touch the words that just don't work,
I worry sometimes that I'll never make it,
To the life that I so desperately want,
I cry about the friendships that i lost long ago,
I am a tadpole in a pool of sharks.
I understand life is harsh,
I say thoughts that I just don't mean,
I dream that one I'll break free,
I try hard to create a bond,
A bound of friendship so tall and strong,
I hope that sometimes I'll actually break free,
I am a tadpole in a pool of sharks,
Lost in a fortress far from home.
