Heavy RainA Poem by Omikron
One should not read what I'm writing at this very moment at the brink of my mental sanity
Every word is thin and fragile like a feather made of glass, if not even thinner When read, I'm afraid that the words will shatter into thousand pieces and no longer be words, but be pieces What would I be without words, what would we be without language Without anything to even begin to understand this void we have been thrown in to If I was bold, I'd say that every doctor, scientist, surgeon, biologist and psychologist, and all the other fine titles on the very top of the amount of importance a single human can bestow on himself I believe that all those illusions are delusional For the body is not made of flesh, blood, organs, veins, muscles, bones, nerves, cells No, the body is purely made out of a cloud A space filled with clouds and dim light And inside, there is a tiny little human called Conscience This human swims through the clouds, in a floating motion Desperate for something to grab on to Desperate for something solid, something logical and sane It doesn't have to be anything much, it doesn't have to be covered in gold and jewels Yet, the human only finds himself forever drifting into oblivion Submerged in the clouds and in the dim light I wonder if I'm the only human, that in fact is not a human, but a cloud And that all the other humans are solid entities, racing through life with immense force and admirable willpower Am I the only human that has evaporated, and is now doomed to float and be pained by the success of others And by success, I don't mean work, or education or social knowledge With success, I mean finding something solid within oneself to grab onto Finding something to truly live for, and do so with uttermost courage and pleasure With success, I mean not letting go of yourself, not let yourself be submerged by the clouds To build cities under these clouds and create staggering views With success, I mean every person that has managed to become everything that I am not Oh, what misery I put myself in What childish complains! A cloud should not complain! A cloud should roam freely in the air And create staggering views in the sky A cloud should not be bothered to care about earthly achievements Yet, even a cloud can sometimes find a ray of humanity within the cluster In that memory of being a solid entity with such vivid emotions and dreams Heavy rain starts to fall Heavy, heavy on the city And the staggering views are no more
