Swimming

I like swimming in rivers.

It’s the feeling of water rushing through my hair

The feeling of freedom as I rush downstream

The feeling of speed that I think I can control.

.

But I can’t.

.

The river takes me

And ravishes me

And turns me into someone else.

Someone impulsive

And reckless

And willing to do whatever it takes to keep the river happy.

.

Girl, if you like waterfalls all that much,

Take a walk on the shore

And look at them from afar.

.

Swimming into waterfalls

Will only leave you

Broken.
