Frog

A frog hops into a pond algae washing over her form. A small school of goldfish swim up, and the frog kicks it away. She doesn't need them. Her foot catches on a lilypad and suddenly she's been flung underneath. She's sinking, faster and faster but she started this disaster. The fish just swim past her. Her lungs are on fire She's a crying little liar She needs nothing but herself Yet she's the one caught in the briars. Screaming for air Nobody cares She wasn't spared
