D.M

The sun sets across the horizon.
The shadows grew.
Mesmerized by the colors,
The yellow and orange hues.

The angler by the lake
Silhouetted and concealed by his background.
The water glimmers against the light
Like a new jewel found.

An eagle swoops down,
Trying to catch its meal for the day,
Oblivious to the darkening sky
Searching for its pray.

As I stared out my window,
I sucked in its beauty,
Took up my paintbrush
And started to paint the wonderful scenery.

What used to be an empty wall
Is now filled
With my silhouette and sunset picture,
Just for your viewing pleasure.

A silent tear falls from her eyes
As she falls on her knees and cries
No one can see her pain-filled life
It doesn't show in her hazel eyes
Dejected, rejected
Unappreciated and not respected
Alone and so desolated
She never ever felt so hurt
Trying so hard to get back on top
Every time she tried
They pushed her back down
Right back where she started
Nobody sees the pain inside
She wears a mask to hide
All the scars
And all her fears
Now all she can do is weep and cry
Dignity loss, together with her pride
There is no one by her side
To even let her try...

Dressed in a sundress
Under the pouring rain,
She twirled around,
Raising her hands to the air.
Droplets fell onto her hair.

Barefooted as she started dancing,
Letting her hair free.
She's the girl in the rain.
The water numbed all her pain.

Her grief hidden behind a mask,
She lifted her eyes to the sky
And started to dance,
Throwing away all her sorrow.
She started to smile again.
She's the girl in the rain.

Nobody knows who she was.
No one knows where she came from.
All they knew, she was silent,
Like the wind in everyone's hair.

Soaked, wet, and cold,
Ignored, rejected, and unappreciated,
Like the roses in her hands,
Wilted and dead.
She let the rain fall onto her head.
She's the girl in the rain.

Everything was different
After she left.
All they could remember
Time and time again,
Silent from all her pain,
She was the girl in the rain.
