Rivers

My heart feels like a river
Running through my chest
Run towards the ocean
Got boundaries to protect
The chaos in my head
Makes no sense
But I’m a warrior
With loot in my hands

Everyone’s a warrior
Fighting for a cause
But on every battle ground
Lies the ghost of what’s been lost
She’s the hero of tomorrow
With bruises in her heart
But she’s got no sorrows
Because grief is her god

Rivers don’t know borders
Rivers don’t know names
Rivers don’t know gender
Rivers don’t know race
The echo in my head
Makes no sense
I am a warrior
With blood on my hands

Everyone’s a warrior
Fighting for a cause
But on every battled ground
Lies the ghost of what’s been lost
She’s the hero of tomorrow
With bruises in her heart
But she’s got no sorrows
Because grief is her god
