There is rain in me. (PrakritiPushp/RoyalistWriter)

By Prakriti Pushp and RoyalistWriter

There is rain in me.

The dense fog of agony,

Won't let me decide my destiny.

This mist surrounds my soul,

In my heart, it creates a hole.

I am all but incapable,

My fate seems inescapable.

With all my incompetence,

I happily waste my inheritance.

Could I ever be whole?

My feelings will I ever be able to control?

Everything feels hopeless,

As I drown in this darkness.

It all flows in me,

That's all I'll ever be,

A puppet of my own emotions,

Unable to cross these oceans,

That I built from my tears.

I make a castle from prayers.

Inside the carefully constructed walls,

The water, comes together then falls.

It rains, in a heavy downpour,

Everything rushes out of the yore.

When my shredded dignity falls...

My inner voice no longer calls...

There is rain in me,

So from everything I flee.

There is rain in my soul,

I can only hope to reach my goal...

But will I ever see the light...
