Yesterday rained down hard
on me.
It got into my eyes and I couldn’t
see
all the sunsets and beauty ahead.
I almost thought I was dead…
..yesterday.
But now, when yesterday rains
It doesn’t cause any pains,
because I’ve got my eyes
blinded to all those lies..
..of yesterday.
Yesterday I was saturated
by sadness..
by wrenching aching
sadness,
hemming me in with
it’s needle and
thread.
I almost believed that
I was dead.
I was filled with
utter dread..
.yesterday.
Now I know the
truth,
instead.
How I suffered.
uselessly and
bled-
-bright into the night
in red..
..yesterday.

the rhyme was gorgeous and it flowed beautifully

Very powerful words of moving forward and leaving behind the pain, of no longer being stuck.
It is interesting how rain can used as a symbol for refreshing...or, as in this poem, a symbol for pain.
Well written!

Wow this is stunning! You reached very deeply inside yourself for this one and if it was one of those that comes to us easily you're a deep poet. If that makes sense! lol
'...hemming me in with
it’s needle and
thread.'
Brilliant!

Thank you!
It all came very easily, because it's all so true.Happy New Year!{I think my best poems are the ones that flow out of me, because the flow is either from my real life, or from my imagination, which is like a childs.I never completely grew up-I guess!
