In The Aquarium

I got into the clutches of a fisherman
Being impressed by my golden texture
Gifted me to his children and placed me in the aquarium
The sign, Pisces stands for helping others, which bring them troubles 
Feel the joy and pain of others as if it were their own
Was I really comforted?
How can I be happy as he makes me a plaything to his children?
They can’t see my tears; I can’t escape the reality
No matter the metal, they’re still fetters
My beauty becomes a bane of me
