poem how does it

How does it feel to know you were left in the rain?

how does it feel to know you're full of pain?

how does it feel to know that you'll forever be a stain?

on the concrete, never washing away, always seen but never acknowledged

How does it feel?

Don't you feel ill?

just look at what all you can kill

will you?

will you?

have you broken that much?

are you so untouched?

warmth, love, happiness

do you have none of this?

are you just a mess?

How does it feel to be left in the rain?

how does it feel to be full of pain?

how does it feel?

crying, screaming, cursing a name

desperately clawing to find a person to blame

is this all some cruel, sick game?

you wish it was.

so here we are

just look up at all those stars

is this what you want?

Am I being too blunt?

how does it feel to know you were left in the rain?

how does it feel to know you're full of pain?

is this the path you choose?

do you really want to purposely loose?

to give them what they want

is that what you want?

don't just give up, throw away, forfeit

how does it feel to know you were left in the rain?

how does it feel to know you're full of pain?

make it the strength, the fuel, the drive

you'll surely find a way to thrive

make them notice

you're not just the unwashable stain on the concrete

make them focus

so that they'll hear the sound of crunching leaves under your feet.
