“I exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.” - Janusz Korczak

It's clear
Like your tears
It's cold
Just like your heart
It's translucent
Like your soul
But it
It satisfies people
You don't
It helps people live
But you're better off dead
It keeps people clean
But you're too dirty to understand
One sip can be so refreshing
But you drain the life out of me
Water is something you'll never be

This is my way of showing how good water is, and its comparison to a person
