a betta, thats what im called
a beautiful thing with gorgeous fins
in a cup on a shelf, i wish not to fall o.o
but im sick, in my fins ends
they are rigid and black
and i am cold,and lacking fat
im scared to die here
but thats not my biggest fear
many folks come for us
some with good intentions and some without
we are lined up,like kids on a bus
the ones who go would have died without a doubt
i'm still here
im puny and small
i hope for a good home i hope its near
i want to leave, leave it all
today another person came
they looked and looked
and stoped at me and away they took
they took me home!and gave me a name
they named me Halo
they said i was an angel
im smaller than their big toe
they gave me plants in a tangle
i like to hide in them
and race around
they put like 10 plants in
and some sand, about a pound
my fins are lookin good
my belly is always full
my tank has a hood
and a current that won't pull!
i like my new life
and wish it for my old friends
and maybe they'll get me a "wife"?
and she'll have healthy tail ends?
welp there yuh go
thats my new life
im fatter than their toe!
and they DID get me a "wife"
the end
