Monochrome Rainbow [✔️Completed]

RAIN

The rain used to cloud my vision 

painting blue skies grey 

a sunny day into a gloomy affair 

blacking out all the beautiful things 

turning clarity into a damp, heavy fog 

swallowing up the presence of my footsteps 

as everyone around me dissipated 

with every ringing drop 

It soaked my shoes 

drenched my thoughts 

made the cloths weigh down on my back 

like the demons of unforgotten regrets 

always on my shoulder 

making the world feel even colder 

like a sorrow forbidden to name 

I used to hide from it 

cursing the storm clouds 

looming over my head 

mistaking it for encroaching misfortune 

when in truth 

it was my friend all along 

the one true friend I needed 

in those dark times 

when I had no one around to help me 

ease the ache within my chest 

The rain was there 

when I needed it to scrub the grime from my skin 

mask the tears I needed to shed out in the open 

wash off the happy mask 

I forced myself to wear 

to please the ones who never cared 

It was the first thing 

to ever teach me 

that being alone 

was better 

than being surrounded 

by people 

who made me feel alone 

When I need a true friend 

I let the rain fall freely 

to drown the worries 

open the floodgates 

ferry the nameless faces and distorted voices 

away with the storm 

cleanse the dirt off the surface 

rinse the anguish out 

make everything go away 

I allow the waters to erase 

all the things that never mattered
