Worry Rain

Worry Rain

Like little drops of acid
They burn my precious skin
Falling fast and relentless
Let the destruction begin

They eat their way to my heart
Tearing my confidence apart

I pray to simply forget
But I’m suffocated by regret

I feel so scared and lonely
Within my cloud of worry

No one is here to help
My body begins to melt

Who am I worried for
This “me” that I adore

This “me” that needs success
And to be told that it’s the best

This me that needs protection
And constant recognition

Oh where would I be
Without this demanding “me”

I stop fighting all the drops
That dissolve my naked skin
I watch it melt away
And awaken once again

Without this “I” to please
There’s so much joy and ease

My cloud of worry dissipates
And every drop evaporates

There’s nothing left to protect
No status to be gained
No image to maintain

Only peace remains
