an honest attempt at introspection

honesty...

disregard the tears streaming down my face
just hand me a tissue
and allow me a chance
to string some words together
to explain
honestly, explain 
and in retrospect
it would be the next October
where I would actually feel the rain...
the wetness, the coolness
the awareness, and the agony
eventually, yes, I felt it all
