rain falls on my face

the tears i try to hide

they are on the outside

what I am inside

tears of rain are falling

on me as I walk

all the dreams of sunshine

are only sidewalk chalk

a world of dismal blues and greys

hues of loneliness and pain

i find myself in tears of rain

and wish they would wash me away

i walk alone into the rain

the way they say when you’re insane

the world paints only streaks of pain

so i wash myself in tears of rain
