J U S T   L I K E   R A I N

rain on my window
drops running down

my soul so discouraged
my face but a frown

i look in the mirror
see someone unknown

then sit back and
mindlessly scroll through my phone

inside me there’s nothing
not even a noise

no feeling, no thought
there’s just empty void

life seems repetitive
the days come and go

while i look at others
and see a glamorous show

. . .

the drops of the night
are now pounding the pane

the monotonous rhythm is
driving me insane

my mind is racing
i think of all i could’ve been

but i then realize
that truly
i’m empty within

. . .

the heavenly tears
are now falling faster

the water is rising
and forming disaster

i struggle
my lungs search for relief

but alas
it’s too late
i’ve drowned in my own grief
