a fish inside a birdcage
A fish in a birdcage is someone who has all the power but can’t use it because they’re stuck in a stupid place with stupid people. They look at life like it’s a joke and everyone else is the punchline.
My best friend is the smartest kid in school but got picked on every day because he wore glasses and didn’t know how to fit in.
My sister could’ve been a famous artist but got stuck working at a mall because she ‘didn’t know what she was doing.’
My brother could’ve been a rockstar but got stuck working at a pizza place because he got told he ‘wasn’t good enough.’
