When the Summer Rained

Hot air causes me to sweat 
Stress causes me to cry 
There’s nowhere to hide from my emotions
But I still try
Food hates me 
Weight loss deteriorates me
They ask me what’s wrong but I have no answer
Confusion and anger cloud my judgement 
I want to move forward but I have no legs
Life moves around me as I stay stagnant
Regret from past future and present chain me to the floor 
And when I look for understanding there is no more
I search for my purpose to no avail 
I work so hard only to fail 
I pick up my pencil and I cannot focus 
I use my words but I cannot speak
Loneliness in a crowd of people keeps me quiet 
So many emotions and I just wanna hide it 
How do you handle loving a lover who’s heart is your no more? 
How do you stand when you want to fall on the floor? 
I try to be strong and just have patience
But my patience is breaking me to the core
My desperation for love is my demise 
I swim in a sea of whys 
I suffocate waiting for true love to find me
I just wait for true love to try me

Just remember true love won't find you hiding under the covers, you must be on top of things . . . Well expressed! Aloha!
