Longing for Rain

They tell us growing up

That we are special

Beautiful

Worth so much

And they tell us we all have a place

And everybody has somebody to love

But what they fail to tell us

Is that love mutilates

Beauty fades

People are not good to each other

We are shown only the shiny things

Not the people that are alone

The suicides or the sad and broken

Souls that are longing for rain

Longing to be touched
