Poem
The Rain…(the reply)(By: Lakeyia Clark 09/05/09) If it’s always a rainy day...how can I see the sunshine If the clouds never move...am I wasting my time The clouds are like giants that I have to face I’m an overachiever of course but will I win the race Do you hear the rain and how its pouring down Where is my happiness...it can’t be found... Wanting much more for my child than I ever had I still try to make it throughout the good and bad Wrapped up in bondage from the things of my past This pain is deep inside and I'm just wearing a mask To cover up the pain that’s rooted deep within To cover up the past and the hurt that nobody can mend I don’t want to deal with it anymore But I know I have a child to live for The ugly truth has been revealed In not so many words yet this is how I feel With hatred and bitterness towards each and everyone Men are viewed as predators and the damage is already done But I try not to let that hold me back from succeeding Though I'm happy now, my heart keeps bleeding Bleeding from the beatings, cries, and scars I try to erase them but they are what they are Permanent damage to an innocent soul Sleepless nights and I carry a load Every night I sleep with the pain Running from pain to be with what won’t hurt me Crying out for happiness and to find my sanity Every day I walk in the rain But if I walk the other way what would be there Would I be setting myself up for something I can’t bear Would it be more of pain and less to gain Or would it be a way for me to see through the rain
