Hiding In The Rain

Accidental Poet

 

My camouflage

Translucent and liquefied

Making my tears invisible

So no one knows I’ve cried

 

Let the skies open up

Let the rain drops fall

Please excuse me

If I don’t answer your call

 

Give me time

To compose myself

Recharge my batteries and faith

While up here on this shelf

 

To some of us this happens

Every once in a while

The bravest may try

And some don’t even care to smile

 

I’m sorry for this poor excuse

As I try to explain

I just need some down time

Hiding in the rain

  • Comment from author about the poem: Wrote this some years back while in a bad place. When I\\\'m feeling this way, it usually doesn\\\'t last for long and I bouce back quite well. I think writing about the emotional stress lets it out kind of like a tea kettle blowing off steam. Thanks for reading.

    Very good write, we all need to hide sometimes.

    • Accidental Poet

      I have to wonder if that's what some people mean by "darkness". Thanks for your compliment Goldfinch.

      A fine write AP. Ya got an umbrella there?! heehee.

      • Accidental Poet

        The umbrella gave out many storms ago. Thanks for reading orchidee.

        A well described process we all go through, AP! Some of our best work emerges from it, doesn't it.

        • Accidental Poet

          Thanks Louis. Yes I believe most of our best work comes from very deep personal feelings. Somehow our lyrical muse inside is very tuned in to our deepest emotions and helps us to concentrate more focused on the subject.

          • Louis Gibbs

            Precisely stated! Thanks.

          • malubotelho

            The way you describe the recess we all need sometimes to recompose is so perfect. Beautiful array of words.

              Thanks malu, it's just one of those things that flows easier when your in that place. Thanks for reading.

              "Hiding in the rain",
              A scene just jump into my mind
              A lady holding an umbrella standing next to you, silently...
              Then, using your imagination.
              Now I know what to do if next time I want to cry. Watch weather forecast first.
              Brilliant.

              How very elemental, this soul bath. Paints a raw and beautiful scene. Both camouflage and cleansing.
