Asas

I fell.

I fell in a river.
And as the water pulled me in deeper,
It was the only, single moment,
I truly believed I could touch the sky.

I let myself go with the flow,
While everyone threw ropes and sticks
Trying to save me.
While everyone screamed for me to swim out,
I let myself go with the flow.

For the first time in my life,
I wasn't in control.
I couldn't go faster or slower
I didn't force myself to let go.

Everybody called me crazy,
Trying to take over my moment.
Telling me what to do to save myself
Some just stood and watched me go.
Why let the mouth express hate
If the brain is already doing so?

I spent days and nights drifting away
Some days with calmer waters
Some days the sky cooked up storms,
But for some reason
Unless I took my hand out of the water
I always felt warm, not cold.

For the first time in my life,
I knew the way the road would go.
And as usual
I didn't know the destiny
So why not let myself be.

I let myself go with the flow,
All the way down the water slide.
If I had never fell into the river
I wouldn't know what to do.

I'd keep trying to be the captain
Inside a boat I can not row.
