    Raindrops

    raindrops falling
    pounding on my head
    raindrops falling
    like little balls of lead
    each little raindrops
    a problem in my life
    each little raindrop
    represents my strife
    i try to run for shelter
    i try to run real fast
    but the rain still finds me
     i can't outrun my past
    i tried to wear protection
    but it just wouldn't do
    the rain is like a bullet
    as through the air it shoots
    pounding on my head
    pounding on my soul
    the rain keeps falling
    reminding me my role
    that I'm nothing special
    i am just a man
    I'm as insignificant
    as a little grain of sand
    nobody sees me
    or notices I'm there
    the rain keeps falling
    and no one even cares

    There is always more than enough problems to go around. But after you've walked in the shoes it gives you compassion for others.

    Perception becomes the truth if held long enough. Time to get a new perspective. I've argued with myself over what to write, and it all comes down to the problematic (to me) last line. It made the violins begin, and suddenly I heard them more than you. Is this line truth, or merely hyperbole?

    the last line lines made me so sad...but it's true isn't it...we're all playing the starring role in a movie no one will ever see. your writing is astute and profound. write more...I'll read it.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
