I am different than other drops of water,
it's true
But I love being different,
And from my dark place,
I'd watch the beauty of the sun
Hiding under it's great shadow,
I would wait until nighttime arose
I am stationed in the middle,
so no animals drink me up
I never get attention,
even though I'm different from all the other drops
But it's fine living like this
I'll never really know what it's like,
To be truly happy
The fact that I'm different,
Makes me have a little faith in myself
I really have no talents,
But it's just another thing
That makes me different
Most people stop and stare,
the passers-by don't notice me
but i'm fine with that,
to them
I'm just another drop of water

I had to do a poem in art class from a writer and instead I just completely created my own and didn't bother looking at the writers poem

3 words that describes life. It goes on. You can never be certain on how life will play out and you just have to wish on a star and hope for the best.

One word. Amazing. I never thought about that one lonely drop, and now I can't stop thinking about it. Keep writing!
