Rain Poem by Aliw Mismanos

My entire life had been a mess
Full of battles and conquests
I fought hard to my defense
Everything seems so intense!

I wonder how long could i survive
Those insulting words that arrived
How strong i am to hold back tears
Feign a smile my sobs no one hear...

I am now on my lowest self-esteem
I feel like drowning no way to swim
My whole being crumpled to the ground
I can hardly breathe no one's around...

I am alone and cold in my misery
I don't have guts to run to my family
I do long for comfort and company
Yet i can't i'll keep this in great secrecy.

From all this rain that keeps pouring
From all these pain i am now taking
All i need is God's understanding
Help me out, Dear God, ease my shaking.
