Not a Dead Fish
February 25, 2019
Only dead fish go with the flow.
I’m so stubborn… I know, I know.
Anyone who thinks I’m a follower is crazy.
I’m a leader who’s just a tad bit lazy.
And even though I can be quiet and my voice isn’t heard
(Being proud of that would just be absurd),
I still don’t go with the flow, but don’t you realize
That I have enough energy to fight and that I’m very much alive.
Let this be a lesson because I do know
That only dead fish do go with the flow
And I’m not saying you have to be a nuisance to your mom or dad
I’m just saying that letting anyone control you is just bad.
