Sitting in the Rain

Heart breaking
Sitting in the rain
Tears falling down my face
Hair dripping
Clothes soaked

Walking in the rain
Feeling all alone
Dreading the day ahead
And the others after that

I just want to live
Have a day where I am not afraid
To get out of bed
And face the day

Having a day where I don't dread going home
A day where I don't cry
A day where I don't run away

Running away from the grasp
That always seems to find me
Handing me to my fate

A fate of bruises
A fate of scars
A fate of hurt
A fate of sadness

Darkness seems to fallow me
No matter where I go
Rain or shine
Day or night
Something always brings me down

Not having anyone to hold
Not having any who care
Everyone seems to go away
Or leave in some sort of way

I wished my dreams lasted forever
I didn't have to wake up...

Tears roll down my face
As it is time to face another day.

Author notes

This last month has been very hard for me. Dealing with some personal things I have tried to run away from. I wish I listened to all of the ones who told me I couldn't run forever.

Honest opinions and feedback, good or bad.

    At some point we all have to face our demons. It is hard, but as they say 'sooner begun, sooner done'. This is a beautiful poem, very well written. Good job, and good luck

    I can connect with this one.. esp. in the line of wanting the strength to get up out of bed. I have had this problem most recently. I hope that everything turns out well. I know the feeling of not knowing what is right.. in your life and what is wrong.. and trying to see which out weights the other
    Beautiful lines in this poem.. I love it
