I feel bad for sharks now

poetry

By lady gagaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I want

To breathe

Not because I have to

I want to breathe on purpose.

Look at me run! Look at me go!

Nobody is looking

That's the best part

Everybody is watching but

Nobody is going to look

My heart turns red and so do my cheeks

I am going to scream

I'm not going to scare anyone!

Actually

I just decided

I don't care!

Did you know

Sharks have to keep moving or they die

That was supposed to inspire you

To follow your dreams I think

I AM NOT A SHARK! Thank god!

I hate moving all the time.

I'm going to sit down- Right here- and think about my

Bestfriend

Thank God I am a person

With my face

And my voice

And also

My eyes!

I am breathing

On purpose

I'll start moving when I feel like it

And i'll walk down that green, sunny, path while

Singing a song all by myself

And me and myself will laugh forever
