I was Fish.

Life was you, in all articles perfect in past tense and sea thirst. Maybe that's why the smell of the sea brings me your body tastes like salt, the marine dialect in my body Bittersweet, the sweetness of the soul I give you the heartbreak of lack This absence that you tattooed under the water where I was just a silent and absolute letter Symphony muffled in the waves of the sea. you were bait I was a fish.

Thank you for Sharing me.

 You try to be someone you’re not 
 At times this can be fine 
 But sometimes it isn't suitable 
 when the idea isn't mine. 
 Being who you are is important 
 Everyone will respect the normal you 
 When you’re happy people will notice 
 don't worry if your feeling blue.  
 Wearing two hats can be difficult
 Especially when your forced to pretend
 Your head can only fit one hat snugly
 Don’t force it to fit or to bend.
 In this world you are noted for your honesty
 So be true to yourself and to others
 For everyone will notice the difference
 Especially your sisters and brothers.
 You will be respected by who you are
 Friends will never desert you
 Everyone will be happy to help
 and more friends you will accrue.
 There are many pretentious people
 Acting the clown and playing the part
 But deep down they really love you
 you are always in their heart. 
 No matter what you look like
 If your skin is black or white
 we are all the same together
 just as we have day or night.
 People may make fun of you
 Because you may not be the "norm"
 ignore the ignorance around you
 settle in and weather the storm.
 Jealousy is a human trait
 Everyone wants to be number one
 But that may not be possible these days
 Second or third can be fun. 
 Take a look at yourself in the mirror
 Realize you are what you are
 Don’t try to imitate anyone
 your a precious individual by far.
 when you are naturally growing old
 Don’t try to go under the knife
 Your body is how it’s meant to be
 just try and live out your life.
 Until there is a drug
 That can turn your life around
 Be who you are, respect yourself
 You will benefit from it, and be sound.

Be who you are, Do not pretend to be something you are not.
