I am a small branch that broke from a larger piece
After we fell into a flowing river.
The other ones are able to ride on. They grip the rapids
And eventually they end up in a large body of water. They can
Float without much resistance. They traverse the middle of
The lake as if this was what they were preparing for the entire
Time.
I'm the one stuck in a whirlpool. I just keep on spinning
And spinning, watching everyone ride those big waves out to
Freedom while I stayed alone, going in circles for eternity.
