On a Rainy Day

On a rainy day for me 
Its like everything 
comes out
All the pain and the 
tears 
I just wish sometimes
The story of my life 
was different
Rainy days like this the 
tears never stop
No matter how many 
times you wipe your 
face
The tears seem to 
never fade away
Blemishes i carry over 
my heart 
Millions of them stuck 
in one spot
Its a sign of hurt thats 
not going anywhere
Deep down inside my 
heart is slowly fading 
away
On a rainy day like this 
It feels like my whole 
life disappearing my 
way
No family,no friends 
just me all alone
Rainy tears still here 
after all the praying 
ive done
Sometimes just feel 
like nothing could work
But people always say
"Mariah never give up"
I try my best to follow 
these words
But something always 
seem to step in the 
way
I just wish sometimes 
things would go my 
way
Maybe all this pain 
cause me to be off 
track
Or maybe theres 
something that can 
make it leave my heart 
and never come back
I try to be strong but 
rain just falls down
Each and everyday on 
my knees 
With my hands 
together
I pray on this rainy day
That the pain and the 
tears would wash away

Hey, poignant write this! I can feel the angst. Rain is often associated with tears but it is also that which is needed for new growth. Same as tears, when they wash down our faces they take away the feelings inside and give as an opportunity for new growth. Well written free verse!

Yes my friend below is right. A poet has scars that bring our rhymes with sprinkled pieces from our Soul. Welcome my dear poet friend to the Soup. Hugs Michael
