A couple weeks ago, for my writing class, we had to write two poems for the week. Naturally, I decided to play some sad music and let the words spill out… and How To: Waterfall was born. Enjoy ❤

How To: Waterfall

if only someone could tell me 

how to stop a waterfall. 

Stop these emotions as they spiral 

sharp as ice 

heavy as stone. 

If only someone could tell me 

how to heal a waterfall. 

No one was there 

when she broke through the ice 

and now, her heart is cold 

and cracking. 

If only someone could tell me  

how to hold a waterfall. 

Cradle it close 

let it know 

it’s okay for her to cry. 

If only someone would help her. 

Show her it’s okay to cry 

when your heart 

and your world 

are plummeting faster than you can 

fathom.
