The Rain

I am outside in the pouring rain!
Oh Lord I feel, for once, SANE!!
My life has been a complete mess
Always thinking I am something less.

As stand alone out here
With no worries or fear
I know with all my heart
That my life is about to start!

The rain is washing me clean
Making me feel like I am a queen
For there is a man who thinks I am 
Does what I want, does not give a damn.

A new way of life calls to me
One that makes me really see
That even though I am broken
Lets me be me and outspoken.

I am wet and yet am not cold
For now I get to be very bold
I get to find a peace I was denied
And am going to do this with eyes open wide

Watch out everyone get ready to see!
Crack...lightning bolts.... a brand new me!
Another storm is rolling in again
And with it a Mistress within.
