Like a river...

Like a river, I never stood still..
Flowing from one place to another, seemingly effortless..
Changing my course,at every turn..
And making them all my own..
Am I the river I started as, or am I all the changes I have become?

Like a river, I gushed on from the mountains..
To fall back down to the plains..
Never complaining..
Making them all my own..
Am I all the heights I have conquered or the lows I have been to?

Like a river, I tried to touch lives around me.. and made them beautiful..
Destroying them, with rage..
Nothing stopping me.. From showering my love and usurping it back..
Am I all the love or am I the hatred?

Like a river, you could see through me..
And see yourself reflected back..and so did the one,who stood on the opposite bank 
like million others I met, did..
Am I every one or am I no one?

Like a river, that flows across..
Creating and breaking those very boundaries..
Travelled a million miles, never belonging to any of those..
Tearing myself apart..hoping at least, parts of me could fit..
Am I all the things I owned or all the things that tried to own me?

Like a river.. Travelling towards sea to meet my destiny...
Or am leaving my legacy behind.??
