Peter Dome Poet Free verse

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.

Barbara Gorelick December 27, 2013 at 5:25 PM 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 Peter Dome December 27, 2013 at 6:30 PM Thank you so much for your concern. I have talked, sometimes I just have to let things out when things get too much., then I'm ok again. thank you. I really appreciate your kindness. take care. Best wishes.Pete.

Ilene Bauer December 27, 2013 at 3:51 PM there's so much anguish in these words (i hope you don't really feel that way). excellent poem, though... Peter Dome December 27, 2013 at 4:00 PM I'd like to say no friend, but I can't lie. Sometimes this is how it feels. thank you for stopping b. take good care, my best wishes. Pete.
