The rain falls softly all around
Wisps of hair frame my face
I stare solemnly into the puddle
Seeing a mirror of me
But it is not me
It is who I used to be
A shadow of my former self
Whom I wish to bid adieu
The rain falls softly all around
I feel so awakened and alive
Time for me to move forward
No more looking back
The time has come to an end
Where I will allow others to place their blame
Cast judgement instead of understanding
Conditional love reigned over the unconditional
So I welcome the rain as it falls
I am reminded of my strength
I say farewell to those who drown
In their sea of righteousness and negativity
As the shadow fades......
