Rain

Pounding on your head
Splattering on solid ground
Splashing in many oceans
Flowing down winding streams

My life consists of these many drops
Moving in many directions
One by One gravity pulls them down
Like the mistakes in my life

Like rain my world is gloomy
Filled with angry gray clouds
Waiting for the sun to rise
Waiting for a clear day
That I might find myself

Until then
People stomp in my puddles
Pollute in my streams
Pass through in my rivers
Without even knowing its me
