Rushing Current

It started with a simple sail Ever so gently I made my way around every Snap crack and pop life's stream had to throw at me But I've been getting tired O so wiry And now I think I'm lost in the flow of life The stream picks up speed and smashes me along the walls of my consequences Pulling me under the influence of my peers Forcing it's cruel sinful delight right over me until I'm one with the riverbed And I think I see my future.. Stuck at rock bottom, I welcome my new home As life erodes away my innocents Left empty inside, I cry As I cave in on myself I never expected to be in this position But then again nobody ever does I'm just one step closer to being some one I don't know
