My despondent life moves with the waves of a dreary ocean, I bare emotions of a fish that’s lost his way
At constant times I drown in a place where there’s barley solace,
And ventricles in fish...ventricles are the chambers in the heart...and i'm not sure how many fish have...i thot 1...at least that's what i learned in biology, oh so long ago...i think.
I find this hard to read. Maybe its because the lines are so long...or maybe its because certain phrases are thrown in there just so a rhyme would form.
