Fish Pond (Resubmit)



Fish Pond

Me fish
Rather selfish
The tiny pool
My school
Over other aquatic friends
My dominance
Appreciated they
My brilliance

I've had
A frightening twist
They caught me
For their sumptuous feast
Luckily they eliminated me
From their list
They did show sympathy at least
They released me
In the vast sea
A new life I did see

Reminds me the fish-pond
Life is not a tiny pond
It's sprawĺ infinite
I can't encompass within my sight .
