Because the rain understands me too much
Because the puddles are shallow like the people around me
Because my black dress compares too much to my pale skin
Because my shoes are gone
And now I am barefoot
Because the birds black feathers are too much for me
To believe in their melody
Because their wings are so light, yet so dark, and I cannot
Fly through the darkness
Because I cannot reach the sky like they can
I can only walk on the side of the road
At 11 o'clock at night
The street lights are dim
The cars are honking, and there is no one to protect me
Because the turtle I found that night
Was only a baby
It didn't have a chance
I too was one once
Pure and lightweight
And now I am lost, confused
Walking in the middle of the street
In a black dress
Drenched in rain
