Fish Bowl

By Frank Bolaji Irawo

Set in my ways, unwilling to change

Always done it this way

Found my comfort zone

Why rock the boat

Gotten used to the same scenery

Round and round I go

Swimming in my own fish bowl

Scary thought, what might happen

If I were to leave my bowl

Lost in the great and vast ocean

Having to deal with the unknown

Requires trust in the unseen

Letting go of my current "security"

Swimming in my own fish bowl

There must be more to life than this

There is a deep part of me, that calls out for more

An inner witness that I was made

To do more than exist

What have I to gain or lose?

I'll never find out

Swimming in my own fish bowl

Sink or swim, here I go

Abandon my fate in the hands of the universe

I and the ocean from the same source

Time to start on this adventure

Discovering what life awaits

When I'm no longer

Swimming in my own fish bowl
