As I lie in bed restlessly
I listen to the tears of the sky
slap against my window.
the melody of the rain's drips and drops
creep into my mind
like an old favorite love song.
I recognize the familiar cry of
despair and betrayal.
the once beautiful blue sky
is overshadowed by the heavy clouds
that refuse to let the radiance of the sun
brightly shine through.

 I listen to the tears of the sky
slap against my window
the cries never seem to cease and
the cold darkness never disappears.
usually there is a rainbow after the rain
but this storm erases any trace of hope
that its beauty will surface

I listen to the tear of the sky
forcefully punch my window.
startled, I jump and look out
the glassed frame.
through the darkness I find a slight
twinkle of light and
without second thought
I jump out of bed and run outside.

 as I feel the tears of the sky
slap against my skin
I understand the sadness that is
emitting from the sky
and I embrace it.
the tears strike me like a belt
against a body, stinging.
it is then I share the pain
and feel the emotions of the sky.
It may be black and battered on the surface
but its soul is blue and bright.
I know in my heart that the pain will pass
and the tears from the sky will stop falling.
it may not be tomorrow
or the next day but there is hope.
I saw it in the twinkle of light that
clawed its way through the darkness.

A smile forms and I dance in the storm.

the sky cries tears
that I can't let fall

Warning: there's a storm coming

Life on earth seems like heaven and hell

Some days my body glows,
my mind soars and love seeps into my soul
that's when I know heaven knows
Heaven knows I'm here and He knows I'm depressed
so he put light in my life to release all this stress
Somedays I feel like I'm floating and the weight is lifted off my shoulder
No more cursing at the world or having hatred spew in my words because the Lord is my beholder
I look up at the sky and the rain clouds have dispersed
I smile but this time it's not fake or rehearsed
I stare at the sky and I actually see the
stars and nightfall
doesn't equate darkness instead it lifts me up and catches me before I fall
Those are the days that are heaven

Other days it feels like hell
My hands can't carry all my baggage and there isn't anyone I can tell
No one I can call on to help
so instead I fight to lose then cry until the pain is no longer felt
My eyes burn red and the tears don't put out the fire but makes the flames more furious
That's when I know the devil knows and
he drags me along showing me that life is third degree burns to the soul that'll
make me delirious
Other days its completely
pitch black
No walls no floors no ceilings just me all alone with the devil and no one and nothing to have my back
The feeling of emptiness but intense pain consumes my being and makes me
sorrow
Eventually i become numb... but still
I hope there isn't a tomorrow

im trying to find my wings
do you have them?
i remember lending them to that beautiful girl
her throat burned so badly she couldn't speak up
did she ever give them back?
or did i last give them to that brilliant guy that
used his skin as a carving board?


did my wings finally break?
im so used to helping others yet im struggling to even help myself right now

at first these four walls were closing in on me in the darkness
limiting my air supply
inch by inch

****** i should have taken comfort in that

now im free falling
nothing to hold, nothing to lean against
air rushing into my lungs
but nothing coming out

**** i hope i dont hit rock bottom
life is funny...has a way of bringing you down just when everything is going so right....im trying to find my wings

I find meaning and purpose
within myself
But lately I havent even been myself

sometimes i am my own demon
clawing at my brain, eating away my heart
