Watching from afar, he looked as gentle, sober and harmless as always.
His bright smile, color and promising future was still present to see.
This river i speak of ,although, capable of helping others

Felt inferior as always

River U.B.IN watched on as people passed him by to fetch his friends

He beat himself up and saw himself as worthless and useless

What is wrong with me, he asked.

Am i not good enough?Does my content not produce beautiful taste and satisfaction?

Why do i not receive constant praises as my friends do?

River U.B.IN could not fume any longer:

He had been distracted

He looked up and saw a man bending down to fetch him

He carefully listened to the man's words as he fetched him

"You may not be liked by everyone, but to me you're the best alive

Your friends are not better than you because what you do, nobody can do same.

I felt happy for U.B.IN because i loved him too

But just like many others, he was unique (U) but(B) felt inferior (IN)
