Finding
The school of fish migrates
A living, breathing entity
Massive in comparison
to the parts of its whole
This tiny, arrogant fish
Hurting the strength of the group
by subtracting himself
Trying to swim against the current alone,
convinced he is competent
Convinced.
He will be carried to the deepest, darkest waters
Forced to face his deepest, darkest fears
Now this underwater wonderland
Has been transformed
to an ominous watery blur
Moving frantically, glancing behind
left
right
Fleeing from himself
Stumbling upon a dark castle
Daunting - tall - looming
ancient stone covered with algae
His body moving involuntarily
Finding himself drawn inside
to the horrors waiting patiently
Swimming in terror
out of a jagged broken window
Tearing a fin and
Narrowly escaping the
jaws of an awaiting shark
A predator and a teacher
chasing him back home
The realization that the greater good is the greatest good
Easing his way into the school
With a unique fin
With a newly emerged glitter to his scales
