"I realize that life is risks. It's acknowledging the past but looking forward. It's taking chances that we will make mistakes but believeing we all deserve to be forgiven."

I'm a river rushing down stream,
Uncontrollable speed at an inevitable drop
I'm a bag of popcorn in a mic
3,2,1--pop, pop, pop
I'm an ice cube left out in the sun
I'm melting away, goodbye fun
I'm a swamp, gooey with slime and gunk,
I'm a frog going clunk, clunk, clunk
I'm a moth with broken wings
Jealous of the beautiful butterflies,
I no longer sing.

The author's comments:
I'm basically just trying to take ordinary objects, or inanimate objects and mixing a somewhat descisable rhythm with a deeper meaning to what I am feeling.
