If fishes were wishes
I'd buy a net, and get myself out in a boat.
I'd make it my goal to catch me a shoal
I'd find somewhere unfished, and remote.
I'd cast my net wide, over the side
Then watch it sink 'neath the blue.
I'd be happy enough, if I caught but one
For darling, I'd give it to you.

Iam
Iam the unpaid bill
The anxiety pill u forgot to
take
Iam the period u missed
.. Iam ...
I walk alone in this
complicated world-
My life .. Nothing but spoken
word
I walk around pregnant with
loneliness nd tears
Yearning to give birth nd be
free
Free from the bondage of self
hatred nd loathe
Iam
Iam the uniform u hate to
wear
If I asked u to meet me..
Um sure u wudnt dare
I dnt knw wat I used to be
But iam ..
Iam the reincarnation of wat
once was to this!
The unfished poem with no
metaphors
..The sentence with no
punctuation
The question with no mark..
Iam the end with no beginning
The book book that was never
read
Thou I am nothin
Somehow- iam something
Thou I have no taste-
Like water I quench your thirst
Thou I have no light of my
own
Like the moon I make u
wonder
This is jus a poem from an
active mind
A little something 4 u to
ponder!
