The sun shines,
a cloud rains.
In a way that's mine,
I release the pain.

This is the only time im happy,
doin' what I love.
If others think its sappy,
I'll show'em what im made of.

Round and round we run,
with nowhere left to go.
0ther lifes i shun,
my own is all I know.

The sun shines,
a cloud rains.
In a way that's mine,
I release the pain.

-ForeverMyOwn-

This was a nice short piece. I personally love the sun, although it's not great when you're practically blinded by it...but what can you do besides cover it with a cardboard cloud? -grin-

Small sugggestion:

{This is the only time im happy,
doin' what I love.
If others think its sappy,
I'll show'em what im made of.}- To me, the "of" at the end made this stanza feel incomplete, as if there was something that was to come afterwards. Is it possible to reword it? I don't think it's anything major though. Just another two-headed opinion. -smile-

Other than that, this was a good poem! Keep it up!

ForeverMyOwn-
I love this.
I particularly enjoyed these lines...

   "The sun shines,
   a cloud rains.
   In a way that's mine,
   I release the pain."

Very nicely said.
