That's not even your real name
See how incorrigible their misunderstanding is!
My dearest deep sea creature,
Swollen and confused.
Your pale pink cheeks and permanent frown have become characteristic of you and your siblings alike. Your skin is like that of a raw chicken thigh, slimy and unappetising. Looking at you, you are without the rise and fall of my cheekbones, the structured pout of my lips, the subtle dive in my cupids bow, my evenly spaced eyes that are seated with intention above my tear troughs. Your two beady eyes instead, stare pointlessly into mine, your swollen mouth downturned and shining. Your fins like superfluous protrusions affixed to your otherworldly form. Without the pressure of the deep seas what is it that you have become?
Sensationalised by misunderstanding,
forced into the wrong place
We were never meant to meet
I was never meant to see you like this
You were forced into conditions that were not your own
And have changed into something unsightly
and I judge you for it
My dearest deep sea creature
Swollen and confused,
But once structured and undisturbed
Your long bodied frame
That once shone like graphite
Moved slowly through deep dark waters
Your pupils once poised and full of intent
Scanned your surroundings
Dark and familiar
Who am I to judge you
knowing what you truly are
I have isolated you from your brethren
And taken your sustenance
And now I berate your changed form
As if that is all you are
And all you can be
My invasive hands and prying eyes
You slip through my fingers
Slimy as you are
Back into your habitat
But permanently changed
Unrecognizable
I apologise, My dearest deep sea creature
