Rain Down On Me

Raining everywhere.

All the pain,

All the losses in life

Fall into my lap

And I need an umbrella

To protect me from the rain,

It's a thunderstorm of darkness

A thunderstorm of hurt

And all I can do is watch

The rain fall down on me

I run and hide

So I won't get wet,

I try to hide from the truth

But it always ends up 

Finding me

So I sit in this spot

And hope the storm

Is over soon

As I watch it all

Rain down on me

The truth is that you get wetter running in the rain instead of walking and here as a metaphor I feel running from the problem and the pain only makes it worse, better to walk away head held high and let it wash over you, for in the pausing can we claim something of ourselves back realising we are beaten but not broken, tomorrow is another day and without them we are still us. Keep em' coming

Rain also represents renewal & rebirth. Your poem was of the deepest of emotion flooding to the surface. I hope it helped to write it out.

I liked your writing entitled: Rain down on me. It reflects upon our lives in such a vivid way. Somedays are most certainly better then others. But at times when the rain of life does find us, it is then that we must brave the storms and eventually they will pass. Hopefully we'll have grown stronger from these emotional as well as physical storms that come our way in life.

Rain down on me! I love it it creates an emotion that i think many can relate to, Fantastic read (:

Very good way, with the symbolic movement in this poem, to tell how a storm and the truth can be one thing. You are a very good young writer, keep writing and never stop...we all need to persevere, to grow.

I guess you got soaking wet, when all the world seems dark, and despair is your closest friend, look up see my face shine on you as a brighter day comes.
Enjoyed :0)

Amazing job on this! You wrote it so well! I love how you used the thunderstorm here. You captured the emotions well too. I also agree with Inyourshadow, running away from the problem and pain does make it worse. Nothing solves anything by that way, trust me I've been through so much emotional and drama pain... I've had times I never did face it..but it followed me. XD Don't be afriad of facing it out. Though easier said than done often times. but a new day comes with new challenges. =) Brilliant write! Please keep on writing.

this is just..breathtaking. this hits home for me.. wonderful play with words.. sometimes i also feel like i can't find shelter against the storm but as you might know, no simplicity without complexity and no rainbows without first enduring raindrops. thank you for the nice read :)

You can't run from the truth. But if you can weather the storm, the day is more beautiful and the air fresher.
