Human Fish Bowl

Naked trapped in a fish bowl on public display Like some creature in a zoo I waste my life away Although I bang and scratch with bleeding finger nails upon the glass but people just ignore me and walk on past ''Help''! I shout'' ''Please someone let me out''!. I'm finding it hard to breath I wonder if I'll survive every day is a living nightmare as I cling on to life. Hell is a place I know so well.

I am going to encourage you to talk to someone about your depression. I know full well that "NO Way" is the quick answer. Ive said it myself often enough. Thinking of you and hoping this pain will ease at some point. BG

there's so much anguish in these words (i hope you don't really feel that way). excellent poem, though...
