I Rain

through the storms you've put me through, through the tiny fragments of hope am clinging to, through the nightmares, through my broken mirrors, I dare to see a dream. You've had me on the cliffhanger, and yet happily I dangle. And there's no pain amiss, yet, through your darkest abyss, I let my hand, reach out, and I sing to the clouds. You stood at the door, Blocking my way, you said, "there's more, you better pray!" yet the sunlight has crept, from within your feet, and I haven't wept, but dared to be stronger, from the last time we met. Through the dark you put me through, through the pain you put me to, I dare to shine. And isn't it an irony? that through all this, finally, I put your efforts in vain, And your darkness disdain, I smile, I dream , I shine, through the tears, through your clouds, I rain. _pain_to_pen
