Left in the Rain

My head aches
When I cry
It's so full
With an empty mind

I'm not healing
From this open sore
I've never felt this lost
In a closed world before

I am tired
From hearing the story again and again
I am tired
I just want to fall asleep

My hands shake
Even when I hold them together
Everyone in this room
Is trying to keep it together

My neck bends
Because of the weight in my head
I stare at the floor
Tears will stain me everywhere

I want to get over
I don't want to forget
I used to think I knew
How bad **** can get

The adults try to comfort us
We, the teens, preteens, are not comforted
The fact remains
The adults may not recover either

I breathe deep
But nothing escapes
I wish I could help myself and others
Make this condition we're in become better

There is no feelings
There are no words to explain
Why we're all crying
When YOU were left in the rain
