Why Blame The Rain
The day is cloudy
And you curse the rain
As if the rain were the reason
You are feeling so blue
It is not the rain
That makes you so hostile
It is the fear inside your soul
Confront your demons
It is not the rain
That makes you bitter
It is the chain you have placed
Around your heart
It is not the rain
That makes you unholy
It is the vengeance
You feel toward all others
It is not the rain
That keeps you from being alive
But your lack of introspection
And your belief that you are perfection, personified
It is not the rain
That makes you lonely
It is your pompousness
Which makes you unapproachable
Allow the rain
To cleanse your heart
To wash away
The stagnant anger that you hold there
Don’t blame the rain
If not for the rain,
And it’s dance with the sun,
We would know nothing of rainbows.

I for one love the rain.. Ahhh and nothing like a windy day..
This is a fantastic write EVERYONE will relate to.
It rings true .. We do like to blame.
Good thing I like the rain.. I live in Florida and we have received more than our share..

Yea..We should throw away pretensions...and be ourselves , devoid of hypocrisy and cynicism...
And I just love rainbows....magic from heaven..
