When You See Water

BY ALICE WALKER

When you see water in a stream
you say: oh, this is stream
water;
When you see water in the river
you say: oh, this is water
of the river;
When you see ocean
water
you say: This is the ocean's
water!
But actually water is always
only itself
and does not belong
to any of these containers
though it creates them.
And so it is with you.

This poem really explains a  very important message. Teaches you to don't let people put a label on you like water because its more then that it has it's own purpose. Very powerful and inspiring message . Amazing work look forward to reading more of your poetry.
