Do you need to follow the stream or not?

Every one says,
go with the stream.

But that's not my idea,
follow the river.

I have another dream,
for me.

Sometimes,
yes,
it's better to
follow the stream,

If you know what I mean.

If you follow the stream,
it leads you to places,
you've never seen.

Discover them and
find out what they mean.
Or maybe this is just a dream.
