Fisherman

Like a fisherman

you gently reel me in.

You feed me with bait

The kind which I can't refuse.

And I fight your hook and line

I fight hard and with passion

Fully aware that when you win,

I will be worse than dead.

Suddenly you let go.

I breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally.

I can live.

I feel you again.

And you reel me in hard.

You don't give up.

Nor will I.

I will fight for my freedom.

The liberty I have always craved for.

No matter how painful it may be,

I will struggle for my escape.

Like a fisherman, you reel me in.

Like a fish, I will fight for me.
