The rivers rush and fall and through their waters I see clarity. The swish and splash and swish and splash brings their magic to new worlds. I am like the rivers; Every day is a struggle. I work and work and try so hard just to keep up with the words that they all tell me. I push the dirt along my banks endless rocks pummeling throughout me. I’m stuck in a stream of societal expectations where I can never ever be free. Every river tells the same story. Every river flows through the land. But maybe your story can be different. Maybe you can finally take a stand. You don’t have to be a river. It’s the waterfalls that really pop out. People travel over new lands just to see their waters shout. Break yourself free from the current. Make the dirt flow to your command. Someday your waters will rush down cliffs and into people’s hands. Be a waterfall.

To Be A Waterfall
The rivers rush and fall and through their waters I see clarity. The swish and splash and swish and splash brings their magic to new worlds. I am like the rivers; Every day is a struggle. I work and work and try so hard just to keep up with the words that they all tell me. I push the dirt along my banks endless rocks pummeling throughout me. I’m stuck in a stream of societal expectations where I can never ever be free. Every river tells the same story. Every river flows through the land. But maybe your story can be different. Maybe you can finally take a stand. You don’t have to be a river. It’s the waterfalls that really pop out. People travel over new lands just to see their waters shout. Break yourself free from the current. Make the dirt flow to your command. Someday your waters will rush down cliffs and into people’s hands. Be a waterfall.
Don’t be afraid to stand out ❤️
