I would sometimes cry out in the rain
releasing my anger and so much pain
betrayed by those I thought were friends
by writing these words, I made amends.
The years of abuse I went through alone
I was depressed and I was disowned
I trusted the ones who broke my heart
by writing these words, I won't fall apart.
By crying in the rain, I released my stress
I'm living my life and it's been a mess
the years of anger I was forced to deny
by embracing the truth, I was ready to cry.
Betrayed by the ones I trusted the most
I opened my eyes and felt like a ghost
the deeper & deeper this pain would feel
by writing these words, the truth I reveal.
