Water
You say I'm like water
That can mean many things
Water can be smooth and calm
Gentle, cool to the touch
Water doesn't stay in one place
It doesn't settle down much
Water can be soothing and kind
Calming you down on a rough day
Water is also reflective
Revealing the past, present, and future
Just by looking at the Face.
Water can also be agitated easily
Just by something minor
Water can soak deep into someone's skin
And they'll just wipe it off, unwanted
Water can cause severe damage
Just when the river of emotions it holds runs high
Water can also burn
Looking blue, but scorching red hot.
It's not it's fault
So in a way, yes, I am like water
All that and much more.
