Koi's Life

I live my life in coolness

The gentle winds pass over me

The flowers blooming right above

I merge my skin with thee

My orange skin and black sports

Makes it difficult for many to see

But at times some notice me

And then I have to hide

I hate it when I am removed

And kept in a room of glass

I feel so hot and uncomfortable

And can't move around so fast

My world turns small

With a limit to move around

And that makes me so sad

Then my beauty starts to frown

I request all Humans

To leave me as I am

I am much more happier

When I am in my den

Humans keep me in glass houses

For luck, prosperity, and good fortune

But I am a very sensitive person

So please don't do this my dear

I get sick very easily

If not treated too well

And no humans could ever help me

By taking away my den

It's a humble request to you

Please leave me to myself

I am much more happier then

to live in the glass fear
