Just A Raindrop

I'm just a little raindrop,
insignificant, nothing more than that,
but you make me feel less than, just because I'm fat.
I'm just a little rain drop,
you belittle me in such a way.
Now I'm a smaller raindrop,
Would you rather I'd go away?
Soon your just a pitter patter in the background
While I just keep on walking, staring at the ground.
Making my way to an archway of hope,
that seemed much better...than a rope.
with all my heart I want to stop,
once I've looked down at the drop.
But I don't hesitate; I don't stop,
Cause you see,
I'm just a raindrop.
