Torn Down

The rain keeps falling in my world,

Though for everyone else, the day is bright and sunny.

I put on a smile, throw out a laugh;

No one the wiser about the pain behind my hazy eyes.

It builds and builds and builds

Until the dam breaks;

Rain falls and drips silently to the floor

Without a cloud in the sky.

They evaporate under the sun,

Unnoticed.

Who cares about a few drops of rain?

It seems like there is no end to the rainy days ahead,

But still I hope

For a shred of daylight

To pierce through the clouds

And wash away the tears left behind.
