Out of Place, Part 1

Out of Place, Part 1

Sometimes the lights are a little too bright,
sometimes I stress when the rocks aren’t piled just right,
sometimes the other fish are moving too fast,
and I have to take some deep breaths
until they all pass.

Sometimes the noise is just a little too loud,
sometimes the sounds feel like they are all around,
sometimes I pull back
and just need some space.
Sometimes I feel like I’m out of place.
