The Street On a Rainy Day
Raindrops fall without ceasing
My worry inside starts decreasing
The drops fall gently around me
I fall down on one knee
And I begin to cry aloud
Not caring if I draw a crowd
I cry to alleviate my pain
Under the drops of cool rain
I am soaked with rain and tears
Trying hard to confront my fears
My hands cover my face
Desperately trying for hurt to erase
Body shaken by large sobs
Up and down my head bobs
I outstretch my arms and hands
Unable with my feet to stand
The rain stops and I move to my feet
Removing myself from the middle of the street
I dry my eyes and walk away
Still with my lips no words to say
Some pain is released but much remains
Some was alleviated by the rains
