with the rain drenching my mood
the storm arises on the horizon
to retreat in the face of adversity
is something to stand strong against
in the face of death
one must laugh to free the turmoil
brewing in ones' own soul
or join the thousands that tremble
and fear what awaits them
whether it be death or life
the will to survive carries me
i have hid in the shadows for far to long
attempting survival in a world full of misery
a world full of hate
love is sought but rarely found
so my perception has grown
and my thoughts turn to rebellion
to throw the seeds of love out into the world
to help grow family values with the aid of the rain
untill the trees of compassion grow once more
