"I believe each and every one of us has a crazy person inside of them screaming to be let out- Some of us are just nice enough to let 'em."


Life is like a river,
it may start as a stream,
but streams join together.
for some friendships last forever.

Life is a river,
who knows where it'll end,
for you can't predict the future,
can't always see beyond the bend.

Life is like a river,
sometimes it moves slow.
lulling waters, peaceful scene,
and arching high, a calm rainbow.

Life is like a river,
For just around the bend, thunder may descend,
while slow streams churn, to raging rapids turn,
towering crests crash, sea-spray strikes it's icy lash,
below a lethal lightning flash.

Life is like a river,
and like all rivers end,
some pour into oceans,
while others find a darker ends.
