in the pouring rain

on the ground above
it's sky rolls by
like my giant cotton ball
of childhood memories
how can i be good
if my friend is great
my sky used to be purple
but now the color is blue
or gray
mostly gray
because the tears
they fall from there
like mama told me
when i was three
i remember so fondly
when the rain used to be funny
and how i acted
was mature for my age
now starburst wrappers hang from my wrist
and little bits of ice from my head
it seems like
i have to be perfect for anyone
but i want to be non comformity
portrayed in the fact
that poetry has come along
and given me strength
to find myself
and the funny thing about my memories
is I remember
I am only 13

Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

Nicely penned, Riley.
It's great to read you again.
