Under the Rain

I shall stand under the rain,
letting its waters cool me down.
I have so many hurts within
that need to be washed away.
I will let my hair get wet,
and my cloathes soaked,
and hope that the waters penetrate
and clean my dirtied soul.
I will stand under the rain
with my head bowed,
letting the water course down
along with the tears that leak from my eyes.
I will stand still and in silence,
hoping that the deluge will cover me whole,
sweeping away my loneliness
and making me whole once more.
