Fishing you out

Ever swam in a sea of metaphors? this is an ocean.

By Lakshita SinghPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

You know I'll fish you out of the ocean,

Is that why you keep jumping on my watch?

I wait for hours like a fool waiting for you to catch prey,

I didn't even realize I was the one being eaten alive.

So what if, I walked away?

Would you even know how to find me

Or

Will it take you days?

The thing is,

This ocean is the sky and it doesn't end,

Just like that my silences will blend.

Dear Reader,

I wrote this piece inspired by an incident my friend shared with me. It made me realize how tough it is to see your own self.

How much it takes to ignore the bell of ignorance in ringing in your ears at all times.

In the end, would you wanna be the savior in the boat or would you want to be the fish in the sea?

The Choice would be yours.
