Daily Life

The days go by slowly
as the rain drizzles on me
I stare at my palm
at the drops that fill it sparkle

Thunder crashes loudly
lightning streaks the dark stormy air
fights break out daily
yells and screams become a normal lullaby

So I stare blankly at the water that falls
rivers of tears fill the street
hopefully the plug will be pulled
then the tears will cease.
