I saw the clouds gather
A rain drop, punctuated
A dark thought,
The rain came in sheets
I stood there ignoring the
Present, I can’t bear the
Moment, I was lost in my misery
Alone, with the pain
A pain I can’t share..
I began to walk
To nowhere, just away
Searching for peace
Not finding it
Memories, like raindrops
Strike my brain
Each one a cut,
Each one a slash
The hatred,
The Anguish
I faced them ..alone
As I always have
The rain intensified..
As did the memories
Why? Was I different?
Did they truly hate
Me?
I ended up suffering
Every Embarrassing
Moment
Every strike, Every
Angry word..
I realized that my
Life had been one
Big circle..and once
I broke the cycle
It was too late..
I looked up and realized
I was at a dead end
With nothing I could
Say..they had died
I was left to remember
It all..the anguish.. the
Pain..
I stood there on a dead end
Road..soaked..alone
I turned back..
As the rain continued
To..Fall
