Dam

10 1 0
                                    

In my brain there is a dam
Filled with raging waters
The waters symbolize my emotions,
The dam my composure

Sometimes the dam will become too full,
It will come tumbling down
Till there's nothing left but tiny rocks,
Till there's nothing left but dust

The raging waters will roar,
They will course through those tumbling walls
Breaking my composure,
Breaking my happiness

When it's all gone the dam will be rebuilt
It will be empty at first
And then it will slowly fill,
Repeating the process once again
