Rushing Water

Though water rushes by
She can’t seem to enjoy it

For in the roar of the water
She hears something else:
The fighting

She can’t seem to escape it
No matter how hard she tries

Everyday she wonders
If things will change
If things will get better

But they haven’t yet
And she’s starting to lose faith

What if things never change
If it’s like this forever
If the fighting never ends

The water might be rushing by
But all she hears is fighting
