River Runs

River Runs

How does the river run?
I know how deep is the depth,
each curve in the bank,
the rate, speed and direction of the flow.

You can't stop the river
by damming.
It will only eventually rush over
or break through.

You can't stop the river,
you can't get rid of the river,
You can only seek to hide
or cover the river.

If you cover the river
it will still be there,
only hidden by the forests,
or some other man-made things.

I won't dam up the river,
I won't build walls,
I won't cover nature,
and I won't be fake.

If the river is feelings
and you dam it up
one day it'll come over
or break threw.

Like the dam of the river
the wall of feelings
will be broken or poured over.
