Rain Runs Down
Rain running down my face,
Or is it just my tears?
Consumed by my frustrations...
Held captive by my fears.
I worked so hard for this...
Why is it such a mess?
Everyone says I can’t do it...
Am I really like all the rest?
Dreams and aspirations,
Can they ever come true?
Or are they just lies we are told...
So we can make it through.
I want it so badly,
And,
Though I have for years....
I am beginning to think it’s impossible.
Not worth all the tears...
Or the emptiness inside of my chest.
I can’t do it anymore...
This false hope is useless,
I just die a little more inside.
Falling down on my face,
No one sees...
And no one hears.
The rain consumes them...
Holding captive my tears
