roogymirror's Poems: Vol. I

Shark

Constantly swimming

Been swimming since the day I was born

I keep myself from thinking

By swimming evermore

I don't know what will happen

If ever I were to stop

I keep going, I hear clapping

The smell of food really pops

I see an odd shape in the water

It's near the water's surface

It moves like no other creature

It does not belong in this place

I take a bite, for research

But it's not how I thought it would taste

And just to make matters worse

It punches me in the face

I swim away from that thing

I know it is bad news

I live, and keep on swimming

Forgetting those memories, too

I swim, I eat, I am, repeat

That's just how it goes

Surviving on all the fish meat

A life like no-one knows

One day, I grew too tired

And my body began to slow

The movement that I required

Had quickly begun to go

Constantly swimming

Been swimming since the day I was born

I keep myself from thinking

By swimming nevermore
