When It Rains

They all run with their heads down, staring at the ground, in a hurry, in a scurry, as if they looked up they would drown, I know they're just trying to keep dry, but for me it's the perfect alibi, cause they can't see me cry, When it rains, tears all look the same, I can hide all of my pain, disguise all of my shame, no, there's nothing to explain, when it rains, , tears don't mean a thing, I can hide all my disdain, I don't feel so ashamed, no, you'll never hear me complain, when it rains In their haste they don't have time, to pay me any mind, they don't care, they're unaware, but I don't take it as unkind, I know they're just trying to keep dry, but for me it's the perfect alibi, cause they can't see me cry, When it rains, tears all look the same, I can hide all of my pain, disguise all of my shame, no, there's nothing to explain, when it rains, tears don't mean a thing, I can hide all my disdain, I don't feel so ashamed, no, you'll never hear me complain, when it rains

I search for something that will touch me more than I have been touched. Something that will ignite feeling, where all mine has been dulled. Words that I may have thought in another time and place. I read this and my search was over.
