all my thoughts like rain
falling on my face, and hiding my tears
should I talk about it?
should I use umbrella words to keep myself dry?
I don't think that helps
lying to yourself to stop the rain
when you know you can't
you know no one can stop the rain
but I'll use the umbrella anyway
keeping my face dry, and watching the rain fall around me
each drop bursting on the ground
my thoughts crashing against the weight of reality
putting my umbrella down, I can let them soak into my skin
not just hiding my tears, but washing them away
I don't think I'm afraid anymore
I leave my umbrella in the street
I'd rather walk in the rain
