i used to feel like a goldfish.  
goldfish are freshwater. 
if goldfish were to go into the ocean, they would die.
i thought of dying plenty of times. i've dreamt of dying.  
life was like a rollercoaster. 
it was like i was in a tank mixed with freshwater and saltwater.
i was alive, but i was suffocating every day. 
panic attacks. 
mental breakdowns. 
shouting.
breaking things.
sobbing in the bathroom.
i do think i relate to a goldfish. 
just without the fins.
replaced with human skin.
i am a person.
a person who is just going through a tough time right now. 
im in a tank mixed with fresh and salt water.
it feels like im drowning. every day.
i'll just get through this, i guess.
