I watch the rain as it hits the window-pane
That same motion matches the hurt in my heart, they are one in the same
I follow the drops of water, with my eyes
To me they resemble a million or more of my good-byes

The thunder booms above, as the lightning flashes in the sky
This is one of those days, when no one would notice if I cried
I step outside, and feel the coolness wet upon my face
Looking high above, I search for a sign of heavenly grace

I feel so lost, so empty and alone
When did I lose the feeling of a happy "home"
Have you ever tried so hard, to absolutely no avail
Expecting to look in the mirror and be flushed, only to see you are only pale

My soul cries out in rages, my heart hiding behind the shield of my mind
I wonder how often I've felt this way before without realizing, I wonder how many times
I want to know who I am, where do I come from, and why
So tired I am of the silence of it all, as though another whisper of good-bye

Everyone tries so hard to reach me, but it's like I'm not even here anymore
I feel lost just like the rain that outside my door does pour
Drenched now from head to toe, I walk back inside
Instead of feeling freer though, in myself I climb deeper and hide

I know I need to talk to someone, but the words get stuck in my throat
Where was I all those years ago, when fate was decided for me, where was my vote?
I know logically I have no reason to be mad
But it's not so much anger that fuels me, it's this constant feeling of sad

I feel like an empty pit is inside of me
No matter how I fight, I can't seem to get free
Swirls of confusion surround me, as the rain continues to fall
I walk out into the world to go to work, my heart and soul completely hid behind my walls


"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

hard to critique something so sad..
but poets work thru so much when we write..
just giving the emotions room to breathe helps us find our way.
Keep asking the questions till you get the answers you need Amy-girl...and try to remember...everything happends for a reason...we just may not know the why when we want to. You are a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for, the proof lies in where you've already been and what youve overcome.

thank you all for your beautiful comments. they are much appreciated. I know that I've accomplished a lot in my life so far, and that I have many people who love me and care about me--I just feel really alone these days. I'm sorry to be posting so sad, but writing really is the only source of relief that I've found that works. Thanks again.

Take care
As always,

Amy

Amy,

Hi.  I feel for you.....I know how this must hurt so much....I don't really know what to say.  I do know one thing though Amy Michelle, you are a very strong and loving person and you are not alone.  You have many people who love you.  

Take care of yourself.

Always,
~Laura~
