Near the surface I see dolphins grinning
Playing, swimming, jumping, spinning
They are beautiful, successful, full of joy
Winning over hearts easily and never coy
And then there is me, pretty as a blobfish can be
Mouth open, lurking in the deep, dark sea
Resigned, but wishing I for once could see
A smiling face when somebody looked at me

I am content, but I wish I for once could see
