Flow peacefully and calmly,
like a river
Life is perfect when it is not forced
An unknowing fool comes along,
tries to swim off in a separate stream,
hoping for another challenge,
striving for another life,
searching for another perspective,
only to be swept back to the same waters
he swam in before
Failed attempts and numerous efforts
Wasted
Why does he not get the message?
Why would he want to drown?
