When you see me I’ll be across the river.

Where I’ll go

That part is unknown

But I’m across the river now

My back is turned against the boisterous waters

Across the river is tranquility

Across the river is the calm lands everyone hopes to grasp

Forget the town

Forget the roaring mind

Forget the abnormally large stone on my back

Forget pressures before I crossed the river

I am no longer wilting

Across the river keeps me warm

The water keeps me standing

I hope you can see me across the river

I hope you will see me bloom

As a teenager I’m in this weird place in life where I have an idea of who I want to be but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to bring my dreams to fruition. I may not know who I am right now or who I’ll be later on but somehow some way I’m going to be where I’m supposed to be.
