Water Droplet Race

Trains were always a big fear of mine.
Mostly to do with my anxiety.
We were just about to cross a bridge.
All the bad thoughts were swirling around in my head.

What if the bridge snaps.
What if the bridge wasn't made for this train.
What if, the train tipped.
I couldn't take it anymore.

Suddenly, I saw 2 raindrops on the window.
I imagined them racing.
The left one was ahead.
But, now the the right one took over.
Then the left one pulled a head again, and
WON!

All of a sudden my anxiety was gone.
All because of a water droplet race.
