I went down to the river today,
But I realized I couldn't dive in,
So instead of going away,
I stuck my feet in again.
I'm not really sure I'm sorry
Because I wish I'd swam more,
And it's really not that easy
When I don't know the reasons I do things for.
I went to the river to have some fun
But realized I wasn't sure how,
But instead of being done,
I waded to where I stand now.
I'm standing in the river
And it's actually quite nice.
If I go farther I'll shiver,
So for now I'll avoid the ice.
I came to the river out of need,
And I got more than I could want.
It's quite lovely, indeed,
And there's not so much to haunt.
It's better with each wave
Because the river makes me feel safe.
In fact, I'm glad about what it gave
Because I just don't want to feel unsafe.
The water brought me a little peace,
So now maybe I can get some sleep
Even if these thoughts won't cease.
At least I didn't go too deep.
