Dancing In the Rain

Today I was walking,
Friend by my side.
When the rain started pouring.
Like the sky was falling
From its nestled arms.

I longed to dance,
To sing and scream.
But self containment
Demolished my dream.

I’ve wanted to be free
For as long as I can remember.
Dance like there’s no one watching.
Scream like there’s no one listening.
Run like there’s no end.

My heart, these days,
Is so contained.
Imprisoned by its “realistic goals”.
Bound by its faithless words.

I think what I need,
Is something simple.
To dance and sing and scream
In the falling rain.

To dance like there’s no one watching.
Scream like there’s no one listening
Run like there’s no end.
