Life sometimes
throws you a painful joke.
You must laugh out loud
to hide the tears.

Some days,
when the pain
is too much to bear,
tears uncontrollably overflow
from your eyes.
You can't hide it anymore
from the brightly
shining sun outside.

Silent tears roll down
from your eyes.
You want
a garbled scream
to be released
with the utter pain.

The agony
that can only hide
in the shower
with the stainless steel rain
covering it as you let it out.

Choking cries
from too many
mixed emotions
from your bruised,
battered heart
overflowing together
with stainless steel rain.
