Rain Clouds

I’m being followed by the rain clouds. My clothes are soaking up the pain that keeps pouring down. Too much more and I may drown. I’m being followed by the night sky. It stole away my sight, it seems I have lost my way. I need someone to be my guide. Listen to my voice. Close your frightened eyes. Hide behind my love for you. ‘Cause fear’s only a choice, one that we all must make someday. So know you’re not alone in this. I’m being frightened by the people who look on me like I’m a scar upon their perfect skin, perfect to only them. I’m being shadowed by my past, reminding me of what I was and what I could become. My sins should stay where they belong. I’m sick and tired of these rain clouds that cover up the morning sun I so desperately seek. Just one tiny glimpse is all I need. A spark of hope is what I’m after. A single day with cloudless skies would surely make a change, a friend whispering it’ll be all right.
