The River
by Hewida Abdelmoaty
My name who I am
My heart is my soul
My brain is slow
But I know I’m not slow
I want to know who I am
I know what I need is like a river
The moon is like a mirror
In the river is like me
I wave and I need to know my soul
I need to know who I am
I need to know what I need to know
I'm like a river just going
The river never stop
I'm waving like the river.
