The rainy clouds turn everything a dull gray
Reflecting thoughts I’ve hidden deep inside
The water flowing down my bedroom window
Is nowhere near the amount of tears I’ve cried
I see my face reflected in the window
I see a teenage girl whose life is based on fear
And I think the raindrops are really angels crying
The clouds are pouring out freshwater tears
They say there’s no way that could ever happen
That’s what they said before the Titanic sank
If life were an army, then my self-esteem
Would be demoted lower than the lowest rank
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so worthless
I feel like I’m about to fall apart
And most people don’t even take the time to notice
The depression building up inside my heart
I only wish that somebody would find me
To help erase the pain from all these years
To be my shelter from my rainy emotions
To help me mop away the freshwater tears

I was feeling really crappy and depressed the day I wrote this. I think it shows.
