I think about someday owning this dog everyday. I can’t even express to you how much it means to me.

Sometimes I feel like I’m a goldfish. Orange, with big curious eyes looking out at the world behind the eyes of a small glass bowl.
I’m tired of swimming, in circles. A seemingly endless pattern of twists and turns, and somehow I always end up where I started. Far away from anything new, or remotely interesting. Maybe I’ll just leap. If I just leap I could get out of here, this fish bowl. Yet, I know if I escape, I’ll land face first on the hard, white ceramic countertop. Flapping. Gasping for air and yearning to be back where I’m safe, and comfortable.
I know it’s too late. Too late now that I’m face first on the countertop. It’s cold, and harsh. It has no sympathy for my mistake. It only wishes to be rid of me so it can regain it’s glossy perfection.
My fishbowl, my perfect fishbowl. I’ve taken you for granted. You’ve wrapped me up in you, and sometimes I think about what it might be like on the other side, the outside. The water is placid and I slowly breathe in and out.
