Dark storm clouds enter my mind
I can't run nor hide
I've tried wishing away these dark memories of mine
But the darkness closes in around me

I know I have the strength, I know I'm stronger than this
I know my mother won't want me to quit
But I know that she would want me to choose my own path in life

I must not dwell on the past for very much longer
If I keep myself in the past
I will never enjoy life as a human being should

I see the dark clouds have not moved
I see no sunshine in my mind
I hear no ringing in my ears
But I can and will change my future

I will come out of my shell
And I will enjoy life
I will thank my mother for giving birth to me
I will thank my father for everything he's done for me
I will thank my aunts and uncles for being there for me
But mostly I will thank my nana for looking after me

Letting

Let the rain fall,
Just for a time.
In blankets sheeting down,
Where puddle's memory find.

This is a sadness
Meant for you,
To heal when
It shall clear your view.

Just let the goodness
Fall and fill.
Those moments only you,
For they do as missing will.

Just let the rain feel fall.
