  • Been on a hiatus for awhile, but I'm back and have the itch to write some poetry.

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.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
