I stood outside in the rain,
felt warm drops of summer
cleanse my face of an internal pain.
~
Nobody knew
everyone maintains a distance
a sort commonly known refrain.
~
We all feel it, hear it, speak about
it while we live lives we might
the awkward silence remain.
~
I stood outside in the rain
my better judgment would I restrain.
