Like rain drops
racing down the windscreen
Staining my cheeks
all wet, tears roll down.
Like a car on an
erratic drive
My life takes
unpredictable turns.
Like a passenger I
observe the passing scenery
Events take place
and I watch them without balking.
Like aeonian
cicatrices and contusions
They leave their
mark on my existence.
Like getting stabbed
by slender needles
The piercing pains
are caused by words.
Like the sun on a
bright day
I go out and
pretend.
Like the stars at
night
Lonely in the dark
attic;
Like a stone statue
I sit and
contemplate.
Like a gaping,
bleeding wound is covered
I suppress and hold
back my fears.
Like the candle
burns the moth
I hurt whoever comes
close.
Like a flimsy dam
barely holding up
I feel like I might
fall apart.
Like a speck of
ember persisting in the ash
My heart struggles
to surpass the trash.
Like a warrior who
doesn't give up
I try to pick myself
back up.
Like no season lasts
forever
My melancholy starts
to disappear.
Like bearing pain
allows you to gain
I standup stronger,
having gone through the same.
Like a victor
flaunts his prize
I wear my scars with
pride.
Like a diamond
shines after undergoing pressure
I get back in the
saddle being firmer than ever.
