Listening to the rain
as it falls from the sky
hitting the ground
after falling from so high
reminds me of the tears
I cry when I’m alone
nobody knowing
I’ll never let it be shown
secret sadness and pain
emotional break downs
with nothing to gain
sleepless nights
with nothing better to do
than lie on the floor
crying in my room
I’m an army of one
with unusual feelings
of lostness and sorrow
always praying for
a better tomorrow
