Fish

I look down in the water, I see my reflection.
I wonder what it would be like to be a fish.

I see a koi fish. It is big, fast and orange.
I wonder if it knows what a toy is.
I don’t think it’s the right fish for me.

I see a sea bass. I think it sees me!
The sea bass looks as shiny as glass.
I see myself in the water.
I smile at myself, pretty
And happy as ever.

I realize, I don’t want to be a fish.
I want to be me.
