The Rain falls.

The Rain falls
Soundlessly on my soul
I grieve for what I've missed
But also for what I've endured
The pain, a slight pitter patter on my heart
Slowly drives me me insane
One day it will come,
The sweet journey which
Will take me away from this hell
And no more rain will fall
And the pitter patter will become silent
And I will be Happy.


First of all the poem is not about myself. In this poem there is a lot of Imagery.I see it being a young person going through a hard time in their life, and they are actually so depressed that they are thinking about taking their life. The poem is a about suicide and a cry for help but no one can help them. She thinks that when she dies that everything is going to better and she will be happy. But she maybe happy and feel like her soul is finally free of the pain but the family has to live with the fact that she is no longer here. And that she has taking her own life.

This poem is about a person that I was very close to in high school who in 2004 took her own life. And there was nothing that we could do for her. She is in a better place but it was very hard to live without her smile here.
