When it rains (edited)

I've had enough,
of all the lies.
I'm sick of hearing,
all the anguished cries.

No one seems to realize
that we are not alone
Hoards of countless others
Have to reap what we have sown

The pain isn't exclusive,
the blood not just yours,
the cuts not just mine,
not the only "rebel" with no cause.

I do understand,
it rains on you.
But you have to remember,
it rains on me too.

What did you think?

    Ah sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own pain, that we forget others are going through pain too.
    Well penned.

    i really like this. it's so true. and i like the way you repeated the second stanza at the end. it really gets the point across. i really love this:

    "I do understand,
    it rains on you.
    But you have to remember,
    it rains on me too."

    the whole thing was great. the only thing i see that could be tweaked is the third to last stanza, where the second and last lines don't rhyme exactly. but everything else is perfect. :]
