Always Me In the End

No more playing in the rain..
                                                  I sold my tears and left the game..
                                                    I climbed up from this tiny hole..
                                       Took a breathe and raised my hands from a fold..

                                                       No more playing in the rain..
                                          I finished my glass and swallowed all the pain..
                                                  Now I stretch my legs and my mind..
                                            Blowing kisses that will fly and search blind..

                                                       No more playing in the rain..
                                        I lie naked under the moon and dream in frames..
                                             Tiny pictures like silhouette's running free..
                                              But in the end the reflection is always me..

It's uncanny. I have a poem I called Always Only Me and this is kind of similar to it! (well, mine is quite different in some respects) I really enjoyed seeing this here. LUv, Andrea
