Am I a fish?

[peter7805]

Am I a fish?
Yes, I am a dead fish in the dry lake of man’s heart.
Look at me, whose mercy that I have now I’m in the dry mud
I know there is no water here that I can not swim any more
And in my dream can I swim freely like before?
What a pity that I can not live on land
And I can not enjoy the warm sunshine and it was so beautiful once
I have no tears you know and should I smile?
Because I was fish once for a while
I miss the river in which I used to swim
But look at my mouth now I can only scream
You know I once dreamt to swim to the sea
But now whether it will happen in my dream
About this I really don’t know
And now I just feel cold and cold
Am I still a fish that I want to know
Yes I was a fish some time ago

It's wonderful how the initial, seeming whimsy of this turns into a serious philosophical/spiritual question.

This is good, it has some meat to it. Not sure about your fish, though.
