Others look in on my feelings
Like gold fish in their glass bowl
Only if I remembered this feeling for 3 seconds
Life would not sting as much
Although this sting keeps me swimming.
I am the struggling worm on the hook
Others wonder why I struggle here
Yet I want nothing more but to be stuck forever, no matter how it hurts
I catch nothingnoff this line
But my reel is yet to reach an end.
-Jerry Wooters
The speaker in the poem, is it a fish or someone fishing? I only ask because the poem starts with the speaker as a fish but at the end you say “I catch nothing”.
In the poem the speaker is some one fishing, at the start it is a comparison it is not saying he is a fish.
