The Rainfall

I want to walk in the sun

Let it warm my tired soul

It’s rained most of my life

I tried to find cover

Clothes stuck to my skin

Only the start of my strife 

Days it rained so hard

Had to wade in the streets

No umbrella could save me

I’d call a cab to get home

Spend the day seeking warmth

Then go out again, bracing

Then the rain grew too heavy

Spent from having to swim

I stayed inside, lights low

When it lifted a bit

I decided to try

Now, I’ve started to glow

Let it come, I'm unafraid

I know I’ll be okay

Strength rises in my bones

The sun's peeking out

Shy still, but welcome

Misery’s been dethroned

Author’s Note:
This piece is for the slow climb—the moment you realize you’re no longer drowning in what once threatened to undo you. The Rainfall is about honoring the pain while standing in the light that finally breaks through. — Liora
