One In a Million
Hither flows an isolated yet drowning droplet,
With a glistening shield concealing its gloomy core.
Straying across its share of triumphs and misery,
Within its own little sea world,
hoping to not be bruised when the ghastly wind whirls.
Hustles through downfalls and unfair twirls,
occasionally adoring the ensuing treasury.
At daylight,
drifts like a social bee,
blissfully mingling amongst the distinct gallons ashore.
At nightfall,
stares into space stress-free,
daydreaming of leaping like an unrealistic starlet.
Deserted whilst hit the storm tides,
the lion's share aid all and sundry to the shallow.
This jinxed fate persists to sink in,
secluded and appalled,
like bearing incessant strikes from an arrow
after every lunge that went uncalled,
to endure within.
Perceives an unanticipated beam of hope,
escorting an ultimate plunge,
fiercely rising outward,
valorously withstood being scoured.
then followed a euphoric sense of pride,
paralleled to no other victory,
surmounted off the cage being more potent, until,
every action triggered a flash of thy grisly moments.
hence, against its will,
exists a sorrow that can nevermore be expunged.
Yet, there inevitably lives a way to cope,
that a belief or a miracle, remains a mystery!
It's unusual, a bubble unique to its own kind,
like a dry seedling crowded by evergreen trees that ace.
With a variety comes a rare spotlight,
But this aqua-life has sole hate to surround,
and the flaw is all that's defined!
It submerges to the deepest ground,
with utmost grace
adamant to attain unprecedented heights,
dives the longest stretch within reach.
To stream far off,
regardless of its perseverance being wrongfully impeached.
Chasing an aim to end up at a paradise,
where it's no more seen as a dwarf,
no more being scoffed,
can pursue the desire to glide on the surface following no fright,
and not suffocate underground,
without having to pay a price!
