My Name Is... Poem by Mangaka Girl

My name is
Freedom,
Needing love
Running away in my head
From problems left unsaid
Being happy when it rains
Like Garbage singing in her pain
Leave me here curled up in a chair
Listening to the pitter-patter on the roof
The occasional rumble of thunder
And flash of lightning
Calms me inside
So I can be happy and smile
When others are stuck inside
I want to go out and dance,
Get wet and laugh
I live in the rain
And in music
Beats
Rhythms
Notes
Coursing through my body
Making me whole when there is no rain
Or anyone to hold me.
