Tear Drops of Rain

It started raining when my life began falling apart
And now it just won't stop pouring

Tear drops of rain from the crying sky

Feels like I've been falling my whole life
Waiting to hit the ground

like a prison sentence
The same painful routine everyday
What did I do wrong?

I'm just waiting to be released

Rustic shackles bind me to this earth
Serving no purpose in life trying to find it
Suffer for nothing
Die for nothing

The tears cry
The rain dies
The sky falls
These thin walls

Crying sky
Traumatised mind
Flying crows
Resting on broken bones
