Swimming in Tears

i am just another fish in bowl, alas!
swimming in circles, always hitting the glass
incarcerated for life, away from hope and dreams
all i hear is, water bubble, through agonized screams.

with beady eyes, as i gape at blinding lights,
vibrant colors and those breathtaking sights
i live, mundane life, amidst my fears
water long dried, i now swim in my tears.
