Another Fish
Pisces, Another Fish …
Like a penny thrown from the apex of the tower
The gravity of my passion grows in increments
At first it seems ambivalent, holding no power
But as its appetite evolves it becomes intricate
This love is relentlessly loyal to the cause
Of course it has flaws, at times it’s indolent
It’s weary of mistreatment, unheeding of laws,
The ones that compel us into being intimate
But there are times when it plummets like that penny
Faster and faster where the pain is significant
Like a runaway train I can’t stop it, its steady
Until I hit the ground and it shatters like innocence
In splattered puddles like rain come these endless tears,
The pain, the struggles, the last breaths of imprisonment
The crushing weight upon the very soul that I fear
The burdens carried each day which have consequence
That’s one of the many ideologies of the sea
See I’m a Pisces and we love hard, it’s immanent;
I am also that type of fish, that when it comes to be,
I will split my scales, be the one pouring the cement—
Etching those saccharine words for my own elegy,
Meaning I would die for you, I am munificent
I’m fiercely loyal, adaptive, an instrument, you see,
I can create or destroy myself, I am my own stimulant.
But that is me, I love hard, it’s my superpower,
And no one will ever tell me to temper it.
I jump in head first and put in the man hours
And like fireworks at night I am magnificent.
I embrace my creativity my compassion
It’s what provokes my decision making instruments
Though I am easily mutable I have passions,
Ambitions to give character with artistic diligence
I am aware of things as though they came from a dream
Heightened to the point of bordering omnipotent
Some say psychic I just say merely swimming up stream
Ironic in duality, the clarity is infinite.
Although the truth may hurt, Pisces do not deceive
Honesty is a tool we forever implement
Our motto whether basic or not is “I believe,”
In what is felt and not perceived as evident.
Though gifted with imagination and empathy
My curse comes in the form of being sensitive
I struggle maintaining my equilibrium, see,
So when I mesh the two, it will by my genesis
