The Dams & The River



Journaling is a dam.
Music, therapy, antidepressants - those are dams too.
They are flood control.
They stop destruction before it occurs.
My thoughts flow as a violent ragging river.
The rainfalls (thoughtfalls) always.
Always inches from breaching flood levels.
If the dams don't hold the river's flow at bay...
The river floods.
The river rages and becomes violent.
The river rages and becomes erratic.
The river rages and becomes unstable.
The river rages and the body can stay under only so long.
Therefore I have installed dams.
Journaling prevents floods.
Music prevents floods. 
Therapy prevents floods.
Antidepressants prevent floods.
These are dams on a vast frightening river.
And I am the engineer.
