Raindrop

I am a raindrop, falling from clouds above clouds,

Full of dreams, full of hope, full of expectations, I fall,

My feeling is that none other like me has ever existed,

I am unique, special, undeniably different,

Without knowing what is below, I descend,

The clouds block my view, but not my determination,

I know that whatever is out there, I can handle it,

For what seems like a lifetime I fall,

Nearing the clouds I prepare myself for what is about to come,

As I burst through, I close my eyes,

Waiting with anticipation til I no longer feel the moist haze against my face,



I open my eyes, and close my heart,

I see what is before me, but I am lost in its immensity,

Thoughts of uniqueness, individuality, hope, are all lost,

With one roll of the dice, I lose myself,

I wish I were on top of the clouds again,

Where I was safe, where I had some control,

But I'm not, I am below the clouds,

Falling towards what could have been salvation,

But instead is my minds destruction,

What I see before me strips me of all hope,

What is before me, is the ocean.

Sometimes i feel like this before i take on something new, only to lose hope when things seem way out of hand,
