Raindrops
December 16, 2015
I am like the lingering sound of raindrops in the night...
The sound that can only be heard when the sky is grey.
I feel as if I’m disconnected from things that matter, never understanding my full potential.
Sometimes I look towards the sky and feel nothing, but yet I see everything;
I see what people can become,
but why can I never see my future?
I feel fine for only finite moments,
and I make myself misunderstand.
I am like the fire that burns for only a moment,
but yet I burn with all I have.

This piece reflects my innermost thoughts, the ones that persistently roll around inside my mind, yet I suppress them as much as possible.
