Alone In The Rain

Its a bright, sunny day

But the clouds, are coming my way

They're not going to another place

But above me, hiding my face



The wind gets cold, blows my hair

Go somewhere else, I do not dare



The darkness falls

And my mind begins to stall



Fog comes from the breeze

Hallucinations start to tease



But these are not hallucinations, not mirages, its not unreal

The rain starts falling, I'm alone, feared for my family

That will never heal



What to do? I say to myself, Why me? I wonder

Where do I go, why no where of course, will it end?

Inside I ponder



Fear within my head, tears of madness start to shed

Gaze into the sky, What lurks beneath will make you cry



You think I wanna try? That I can go on with all the pain?

I actually wish I could cry,

Cuz past memories have left their stain



Through the eyes of careless men,

Nothing means a thing to them

Marks from drunks and angered souls,

I'm nothing left but a root and a stem



If only you saw what I had seen,

Suicide, broken glass, popping viens

Seeing it all and yet only a teen,

So scared, even when alone as it rains



She thinks she knows all the best, but yet she has no clue

I know her past and present,

Its almost the same for me and her too



Everyone I know has problems of their own,

Some sadly have even been shown

But mine are hiding underneath my skin,

To scared to share or let anybody in



Why do I keep on going? after all the tragedy?

Still passing through my life - I've seen all I can see

This song is about my mom. I wrote it quite a while back.

hey again... sorry ... I just LOVE your work.
Anyway... I still find all of your work is amazing.
I also find it interesting that you wrote something about your mother. I think that by reading your stuff, I see that you are a deep person, and that is really admirable. You have a great personality and good qualities, so even though being upset inspires much better lyrics and poetry than being happy does, you have a lot to offer to the world, so don't feel there's a need to feel down.

also, my msn is halee_brown@hotmail.com ... since u said U use MSN not AIM... I figured thats what to give you.
