Advice From A Fish
May 3, 2018
When in doubt,
swim it out.
Life may be a struggle
at times, but-
just keep moving,
and everything will be okay.
Sometimes,
you’ll dink your
head against the glass.
Sometimes,
you’ll feel the
need to jump out.
But just keep breathing;
just keep swimming.
Time will pass-
food will be replenished,
water will be cleaned-
it will work itself out.
When your time is finished,
and you’ve started to raise to the
surface of the bowl-
just keep calm,
it’ll be okay.
