Young body, dead mind.

A daily fight with society.. I use a urban lake to describe my loneliness. I describe, how society has attempted to colonise my mind, which is now tired and about to give up.

How the river cut's a mountain?, pushing it's course through hard, heavy rock without end.

My way is long lost. My mind, now like a lake, dead and lifeless, absent flowing spirit.

Who would dream of settling near my rugged shores?, whose fruit's have long been drained clear.

People hurl pebbles into my surface, hopelessly trying to evoke a splash of positivity.

They will ripple my surface for a split moment, then sink, to be forgotten in my lonely depths.

My once pure water.

Once it would flow through woods and valleys strong, yet now idle, blocked by concrete darkness..

The clouds were once the only ones to darken my mood...

My shores have become encircled by this polluted society, yet, there was nothing I could do about it..

However, if it try's to build on me, It will for ever collapse.

My independence will not be compromised..
