Naked In the Pouring Rain

Written May 23, 2016


Seems you'd hide
Cornered in the stairwell
Hugging concrete
Slowly ascending
Holding onto railings
But in your head
You're always singing

The neighbors throw
Their doors wide open
To hear all the commotion
To see your mind in motion
In a world all
To yourself
You're only human after all

If we could
Only find
The answers to our aching pains
Until then
There you stand
So fine
Naked in the pouring rain
