I

A small raindrop
Unnoticed by the busy people on the old streets with things to do and places to be
As a car splashes her into a puddle on a lawn
Not even the grass accepts her as she gradually blends in

A puddle of water
The citizens of a restless city hurry to attend meetings on time and find a faster way home
Since home is their relaxation
But she has no where to go as she is pushed around in the puddle
And an abundance of high heels and leather shoes carelessly step on her

They don't see the beauty water
Nor the power that one droplet possesses

She is only another easily conquered obstacle as the puddle gradually over flows onto the pavement
More people avoid her and walk elsewhere
She is only delaying them from catching the bus on time
No one sees that one droplet
No one cares

She cannot help but wonder why she has to be so insignificant
Why her single voice cannot draw the attention of a society that always has better things to do

And even when she's apart of a larger necessity
Everyone starts avoiding her like a rampant disease
Afraid
To get wet

No one ever knew how shallow the water really was.
