RiversA Poem by Mae Arrowood
All rivers must flow,
And there is a dam holding back every word I want to say to you, Every letter, consonant, vowel, and period welled into one giant river, The pressure is that of a hurricane, Threatening to break the barrier, to drip through is too gentle of a description. My thoughts would rip through you like a twig in a bulldozer's path, Crush you like a flower under foot, And curse you like black magic to a damned man. Everything I have held back, shut in, and stopped up would finally break through and reach you. Every time you have let me down and made me feel like s**t, I held my tongue, but all dams break, All silences end, All hearts stop. And when the dam breaks, The water will not be sweet.
