Riverme


Born because I have to burst

Escaping my own pressure

I have to run, I have to flow

Follow my destination

Named by the forests a divider

Judged by mothers of stolen kids

I’m begged by farmers to bring water

And blamed of curses if I miss.

You may build damns ahead my pathway

Mountains laugh playing with my course

I’ll smash against your very essence

And flow myself with no remorse.

One drop will bring your stones to pieces

One swirl will steal your child away

One fall will make you forget silence

And yet nothing can make me stay

For all I know is run and follow

A destination I can’t see

It matters not, today, tomorrow:

I know one day I’ll reach a sea.
