Let the Rain Fall Down
I am always feeling something lately
which I can never put into words
when I have the time.
So, someone...
Please...
Let the rain fall down.

I often deal with so many people in a day.
And, never have anyone
with which I can fully be myself.
A shoulder to cry on when I need that.
A true friend.
A love.
I never have the strength to find it.
I am either terribly weak or scared.
I just gasp for the breath to speak.
I need to...
Let the rain fall down.

When I meet someone online
and grow to like them so much
but can't be with them
for any length of time
for whatever reason,
it hurts to breathe.
I just want to be there
or have them here.
NOW.
I am stuck behind the glass
beating on it to let me through.
But,
it seems like it will never happen.
Let the rain fall down.

So many ask for help--
whether honorably or not--
and many times
I cannot turn away
(even though I may feel they are
using or abusing my kindness).
I often am overwhelmed
and mentally break down.
Let the rain fall down.

I'm no superhero
but often wish I was one.
I can't help them all
but sometimes wish I could.
I don't know if it is a weakness
or foolishness.
Just...
Let the rain fall down.

Like a dam about to break.
Like a cloud ready to burst.
The tears upon the window
are nothing
compared to the ones inside my heart.
I just wish it would happen already
so I could let it out.
The pressure is often so intense.
Before this day is over...

Brainstormer...
You have no idea how much I wish I could help you, or how I wish I'd have the magic words to turn your life around. But I know words won't help. I know what you are looking for is close companionship, and nothing anyone says will mend your broken and lonely heart. Just try to keep the faith. OK?
I loved your poem. It was beautiful, and very full of feeling. WOW...what talent!
I'm keeping you in my prayers guy!
Luv 2 U!

Beautiful entry...I agree with you about

"When I meet someone online
and grow to like them so much
but can't be with them
for any length of time
for whatever reason,
it hurts to breathe.
I just want to be there
or have them here.
NOW."

Totally totally get that...

wow, that was amazing. You know when I first came here on Thoughts, I side stepped all the poetry .... but I've learnt that there are many talented people on here that have made poetry really enjoyable to read. And you have done this here. (not that I'm an expert! - like a non-smoker telling a chain smoker how well he just blew a smoke ring!)

Thank you for sharing, and I must admit I've been reading your posts lately and hey, what can I say I keep coming back...

hope you find your smile, your soul is ready.

I know that you are a kind hearted and sensitif man.

It is good sometimes to let all the tears running down. Just like like the pitter patter of rain drops...when they stop you can see the beauty of a rainbow over the sky.....

Wishing you the very best. Love the poem.

Your words are truly beautiful.
I love words and writing and anything to do with those two things.

To tell you how wonderful your words are and how much I enjoyed them, still wouldn't do them justice.

I love it. So much. I know how you feel as well, so thats also part of it.

Just, wow. I need more people like you to exist in my world.
(be my friend?)

<3
You deserve the very best.

Raindrops -teardrops.
I catch them both in the palm of my hand.
I know a "Rain Dance."
An authentic Native dance.
I designed it myself.
You do not even have to move for this dance.
I call it....The Dance of Tears.
Cry....that will make the rain fall down.

You are a superhero! That poem has touched many, in more ways that you will ever know. You are a true artist.
