I can’t control the tide.
I can’t control the rushing wind.
I can’t manipulate the skies
to produce rain again.

I can’t stop the flowing river.
I don’t control where it will go.
So why would I think I can stop
this love that’s in my soul?

I can fight the rising tide.
I can push against the wind.
I can scream and shout loud at the sky
to rain on me again.

I can try to dam the river,
try to mitigate the flow.
I can shut down pieces of my heart
to try to tame the soul.

And one may look at this
and think, “This is futility.”

You cannot tame a wild thing
that is destined to be free. #poetry #poetsofinsta #freedom #healing #writergram
