My life keeps rolling on and on
never stopping
never slowing
our lives keep going
swift and fast
like an old river
someday our lives will find that dam
our rives will stop
and grow calm as they become great lakes
we sink away
into nothing
a nothingness so deep it fills within us
and we fade
fade away
we wonder if we are still that river we once were
we search for ourselves
but cannot find the people we had been

what is this monster that becomes us?
we chase away those that once loved us
the fire that is our pride
that is our heart
that is our life is snuffed out
dying away like the love of this earth
gone away
unseen for eternity

and as we find out whom we truly are
we become that river again
we meet the ends of the earth
and free fall into the unknown

why thank you! this is another one from when i was 13
