Oh, to be a jelly昀椀sh.
A being with no heart to break
With no brain to think.
To be so strong that no one dares to touch you.
To be allowed to rest.
Drifting through the world, not knowing the horrors
That in which corrupts all it sees.
No longer bleed tears.
Be free.
All alone.
No expectations.
No responsibility.
No pain.
Just a jelly昀椀sh.
Floating through life.
Being allowed to rest.
To be strong so no one comes near you.
With no brain to think
And no heart to hurt.
Oh, to be a jelly昀椀sh
