Drop By Drop


Drop by drop I drown. I drown drop by drop. The rain water hits my face. It fuses in with the tears. The tragic sight that I must make. Drop by drop I'm drowning away. I want to write but I can't find words. I want to live but I can't find the will. All I'm is a statue of mud. All I'm will be wasted away. The water washes away my soul. The water melts my soft body away. I look at the cars passing by. And all I can feel is the will to cry. Because I want to write, I want to live. I want my soul to stay this way. I want my soft body to stay with me. I don't want to drown drop by drop. Yet here I'm doing that. And wondering why my heart cries. I have to save my own existence. I have to fight for who I am. Unless this will be all my fate. Drop by drop I drown. I drown drop by drop.
