My Worries Wash Away

My Worries Wash Away

A Poem by Skye

My fears are ever growing, 
I think I've lost my mind. 
Its dark and cold 
And I can't find my way. 
The rain is falling
Thick and blinding
Calling my doubts forth
Nothing seems like it'll be alright
The future's bleak
In my own mind's eye
"God, please help me!" I cry out, 
The rain, amazingly, lightens up
I can see all that's before me
It's alive and it's open
Even while the drops still fall
Suddenly it doesn't seem so grim
The pitter patter, gently calming
The water's cool against my skin, 
And still I can't remember
Which way I ought to go
But I let my worries melt away
and spin a few times
Letting the rain kiss my cheeks
As if they were tears
Of happiness

I normally hate giving short reviews, but I don't really know what to say other than how brilliantly written and beautiful this was. Well done.

no prblem!
This is such a cute poem! I like the little metaphors you threw in like "letting the rain kiss my cheeks". One thing; I think you could've made the poem a bit longer. The change from the dark scene you set to the new brighter scene was a bit sudden. But that's about it!:) Great job! How'd you do on the contest?

Woah! Awesome job:))
Beautiful, I can relate to this. I confess to you that when I was in my younger days I used to love rain very much, it made me feel so fresh and new. Now the opposite is true, I feel very good especially when the sky is clearing up. I like the way you cannot remember which way to go, well written within the rain picture as a whole.

Cute. I love the way it's written.

"God, please help me!" I cry out,
The rain, amazingly, lightens up
I can see all that's before me
It's alive and its open
Even while the drops still fall
Suddenly it doesn't seem so grim

^^ My favourite part ^^

Sometimes, I forget my passion underneath the demands of life and want of perfection. Then there are those nights where everything is clear, and I can't help but write what I feel. I love meeting .. more..
