WATER

The water showed me what life truly is.

There is water that you see, and water that you feel. 

The feeling kind is beneath, hidden, strong, and impossible to fight against. 

If you fight against it, it will kill you with no conscience at all. 

Not even noticing it did. 

Families are like water.

Perhaps there are some like the lagoon. 

Existing in a state of calm and peace. 

But I don’t know of them.

I think most are just like the real water. 

Turbulent at times, still at other times. 

Occasionally brutal, occasionally gentle.

But nevertheless, carries you from your beginning until your end.
