Another failed attempt
The rain drips down my face
Blurring my sight and my mind
As I realize leaving didn't help

I look up to the sky
Water pelting my forehead
I feel saddened, lost, hopeless
But never do I feel comfortable

It's been like this for weeks
This endless torment
Looking for a place to be
But knowing it is futile

My foot falls to the heavy concrete
Water seeping up my jeans
My legs buckle and I fall to the ground
Water and tears following after

Someone nearby sees me kneeling
I pull myself up and walk more
I don't need to draw attention
There isn't any help to give me

I near my building, stopping once more
My eyes downcast and my body slouched
Even here I know I won't feel safe
I could never call this place my home

I search desperately for that one place
Where I may smile and be myself once more
But for now, I trudge on through the rain
Wondering when this struggle will end.
