Catching The Selfish

By Intimate Plan

On A Surfacing Life

Thumbnail

Yesterday all that I took

Out of my sea on my best hook

A predator so large and loud

My rod hit hard and nearly broke

Thought he'd be smart

This massive bloke

Crossed all my other lines at will

A reckless beast

One giant mouth

Pushing never holding still

Yet only lonesome organism

I couldn't help but focusing

On what I thought I cannot win

Cutting all lines, I cut myself too

Cause all I've seen

Has been only you

I cursed, I judged, shouted, and screamed

Let out my emotions, never giving in

Dominated over him

You odd living organism!

To both our anger I guess I won

This specimen is nearly done

Looking forward, never back

I know what I want

And I wanted all that

This catch now looks just like a joke

Mirroring inside my boat

I looked at him, myself, and I

And all I've lived passes me by

I only live

Yesterday all that I took

A predator so large and loud

Saw myself

Changing

I've been shrinking while I've grown

I've been letting out excitement

Relying on my own

I had enough for you!

I may miss you, too -

May I miss you too?

I had enough of you!
