Rain
Myself
Rain rain it slowly falls
Washing away a lot of things
But not my guilty mind
And I don’t care what it brings
The wetness overwhelmes me
As I start my day
Maybey if I stand real still
The rain will take me away
Away from all the hurt
Away from all the pain
This is where I want to be
Away from all the rain
The rain falling down
Splashes on the ground
It makes me think of all my pain
Which was lost but now is found
I like the pain it’s good
It makes me feel something now
I haven’t felt anything in a long time
Something I didn’t want to allow
The rain splashes on my face
And slowly I start to smile
I’m starting to feel other things
Something I haven’t felt in awhile
Being happy is new for me
I have never felt this way
The rain brought back this part of me
That I had put away
I look at the rain differently today
It us so beautiful now
It is washing away all of the pain
And renews my spirit somehow
My wish is this
For everyone to see its true
How it can heal yourself
If you want it to

This poem helped me get in touch with feelings I had lost over 11 years of abuse. If it helps anyone else I am glad.
