We are rivers, underflowing and overflowing.

I realized we were all rivers
Over flowing and flooding ourselves at time
Needing one way or another to keep the water at level
And it’s fascinating how different people
Have different ways of keeping the flow in control
Some spill the excess as ink blotting the paper
Some splash it with paint on a canvas
Some let it flow from their eyes when the night is dark and deep
Some sweat it out as the run miles and miles in circles
Some surround themselves with people and let their words carry it away
But we all have our ways
For if we didn’t, we would drown
We would drown in ourselves if we didn’t
