Rain

Times when you just want to hide and scream and shout.

Rain

Written by: C. Lee Battaglia

 

When you feel like falling down,

When you stare in the mirror and frown,

Surly it’ll be okay,

It doesn’t matter what they say.

 

No one deserves to get pushed around,

When you’re alone, you’ve already drowned.

Don’t be afraid,

Because it will fade.

 

Let the rain fall,

Because after you’ll be standing tall.

Let the rain out,

Because they can’t hear you shout.

For what happens after rain,

The rainbow so beautiful and relieves the pain.

Remember who you are,

And after this, it’ll only be a scar.

 

When you want to vanish,

And they say that you’re childish.

Oh, let it out,

And shout.

 

When you feel like falling down,

You stare in the mirror and frown.

Surly it’ll be okay,

It doesn’t matter what they say.

 

Let the rain fall,

Because after you’ll be standing tall.

Let the rain out,

Because they can’t hear you shout.

For what happens after rain,

The rainbow so beautiful that relieves the pain.

Remember who you are,

And after this, it’ll only be a scar.

 

Become the better person,

Be the one to put down your gun.

Because after the rain,

There's the sun; and oh what a gain.

ok! Out of all that I've read of yours, this poem is the best one I've come across. This makes great use of consolation and metaphor, and it's simply fantastic. My only edit would be:

"For what happens after rain -
A rainbow so beautiful THAT relieves the pain."

That makes more sense, doesn't it?

Well done! Much enjoyed this!

This poem gives an outlook to the brighter side of picture. Very optimistic. Very, Well-written.
Sometimes, despite all the hardships you go thru, there's always a hope that resides in your heart, that it will be alright. Everything will fade away. Worries. Stress. Everything.
Very nicely penned.
