Crimson Rivers

I lean against the towering wall,
the ivy at my back is the only thing that can climb to the top,
the rain pours down,
it pounds on my face as I lift it to the sky,
it splatters on the ground as it hops from puddle to puddle,
my clothes are soaked, but I do not shiver,
it no longer fells cold to me, it may as well be a warm shower,
it may not even be raining anymore,
I do not feel,
I do not care,
I want this all to go away,and it will,
thanks to the blade that now lies in the mud,
and the crimson rivers that run down my arms,
I guess it must be raining, for they are washing away,
I bring my knees to my chest,and lay my head down,
holding myself together with my arms is no longer necessary,
I can let it all out,I can let my tears mix with the rain,
As the wet limp curtain of my hair hides the bleakness of the world from me,
I close my eyes for the last time,
these thoughts shall haunt me no longer,
these four walls close in around me and reach to the sky,
the darkness descends,
I spread my scarlet wings and fly,
I reach up to touch the stars,to grab hold of them,
the rain hits my face,
awakening me,
I have fallen in the mud, in this alley i have lain,
I have lost my escape,
I raise my hands to my face,
and scream as I see the blood that covers them,
to mix with the tears I have cried,
and be lost in the rivers of blood below,
that is all that it takes to brake, though I am already broken,
I lean against the dark wall,
and let the pain out, so that the world might know it,
that they may see how little they know of me,
and maybe find a hope to one day understand.

Author notes

So this was based on seeing this allyway with an ivy covered wall behind my school when it was raining and feeling really depressed and therefore wanting to go out and sit against the wall in the puring rain and writing it down made me fell a lot better though i still want to do that.(yes i know this sentence doesnt make sense... deal with it)

    wow...
    great write, it's really powerful imagery! as you're new to this, you might want to look at seperating this into stanzas, it's really the only thing i would change. very well done!!!
