Just Another Droplet


Just another Droplet

I am merely a droplet in an ocean of people

Going wherever the current should take me

Just a droplet trying to keep above

Not letting the undertow of depression drag me down into darkness

Trying to keep afloat

Occasionally finding myself in a riptide of problems

I’ve gone through hurricanes of hatred

I’ve sunk to rock bottom

Struggled to find a way to float back to the top

I’ve been part of a monsoon, the cause of mass destruction

I’ve found myself on cloud nine

Then moments later hurdling towards earth

Landing in an oasis

Offering relief and assistance to wondering travelers in need

Only to relive a cycle much like this one time and time again

It’s a cycle i couldn’t seem to escape

I grew weary and tired of this cycle

So when I fell I aimed for a small fire

I was just a drop, alone in an ocean of people

Some time passed and i found some like minded drops

I now reside in a small puddle outside of Warped

Coinciding with what have become my closest friends

I don’t have that great an importance to anyone other than to those in my puddle

I am simply a droplet

I offer relief to those in need

I go wherever the current we call should choose to throw me

So you ask me who I am, what makes me me

This is my life, who I am

I am a mere droplet in a very small puddle
