The Rain

The rain hit my eyes and it stung,

When I blinked the droplets away.

But yet I still looked up at the sky,

And smiled away the gloomy, dark clouds.

When it rains,

And I am sad,

It is nice to think,

That the mud on the ground is sadder than I am.

And no matter how wet, or cold my emotions may be,

The leaves on the trees are wetter and colder.

When I cry, and tears fall from my eyes,

I like to think that the tears that fall from the clouds,

Fall faster and harder.

And no matter how much I weep,

The thunder weeps louder.

And no matter how much I scream,

The wind screams louder.

So,

I know that I can't compete with the rain,

With its dark shadowy frown, and it's hard, thick tears.

And I know, that no matter how hard it is to smile,

And laugh,

The rain has no choice but to be sad.
