Heavy Rain

Heavy Rain

A 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
