Sometimes when I feel pressed up against glass, I have to remind myself if I was really trapped, I could break it. It makes me feel better to be in control, but I know that sounds silly when none of us really do. Large round eyes like a fish swimming around in its bowl, another characteristic to make me feel more and more like an exhibit in an aquarium, but not even important enough to be the shark in the huge tank that everyone wants to look at. Stuck as an object in this place, yet nobody stands and admires... is it time to break the glass yet?
I hope you enjoyed this piece! Funny side note– when I looked up “fishbowl” on Unsplash to find a picture to accompany this piece, only one picture came up. I actually love the picture I chose, but I just found it funny that a fishbowl would be such an uncommon thing to photograph. Please feel free to leave comments and writing challenges in the comments. Stay safe and healthy out there.
