Dry Spells and Enemies

Give it up.
You'll never be as pretty.
Shove it down.
No one wants to hear it.

Don't push against the ropes that tie you down.
You're much too small to wander around.
Close your eyes and pretend
That every fairy tale has a happy end.

Go to sleep.
Find refuge in unconsciousness.
Curl up tight.
Dream yourself away.

Wrap your arms around yourself to hold it all together.
Rocking back and forth you pray for stormy weather
To wash away reality and deliver an escape.
Sad to see your life as a chain of linked mistakes.

Wash it off.
Truth revealed in the downpour.
Hold your breath.
This feeling won't last for long.

Author notes

hmm... so. caged like a real life tinkerbell i write... it rained for the first time in 4 weeks yesterday. was nice. needed- for me and the earth. but as usual it lasted about 5 minutes and just left the air grossly humid. woke up this morning and there was no humidity- refreshing. but i'm always happier when it rains.

lemme know
