A glass box separates me

From the world.

I can see its beauty,

But I can't touch the world nor feel it.

I watch everyone stare at me.

I am skeptical about what they know.

I swim around in circles

To pass my time alone.

I dream of openness,

Of swimming in the ocean,

Feeling the waves over me,

And the sunlight on my skin.

One day, I hope for freedom,

To swim away from everything,

To explore the sea and the ocean,

And find my place in this world.
