"Bubbles the Fish" Alivia Burzlaff
my thoughts transcend the teachings, so i ponder in frustration even though i remain aware of this pointless exuding of energy that stems
my limbs are loose and tender as if they were rope, and my body, heart, and mind are healthy and fueled by my drive to expose the truth
obstacles tend to be frequent while pursuing the path
in the sea of people seeking conformity, i seek originality, and while my voice is small and muffled, my impact is large and my actions have effects and while this is the way of the world,
my youthful mind must adapt by realizing that my doings have meanings and dare i say, a power
though in this world, when i aspire to make waves, i stagnate, and
where i aspire to stagnate, i make waves
the walk of life proves difficult, a giraffe walking a tight rope i feel represents me
as bright stars guide me, perhaps their glow misleading, i follow ignorantly
though the glowing stars do not see, while i follow steadily behind
i learn from their mistakes and save my judgments as i explore the darker side of the unknown
i discovered a world that truly holds no waves and when i wish to stagnate i may truly hinder
thus, the question is, do i simply
float
