Walking In The Rain

A poem about emotional pain.

Walking In The Rain

 

In the rain

I like to walk

When my heart

Is in pain,

Walking keeps me

Contained.

 

The cold drops

On my face,

Make me

Feel sane

And numbs the pain.

 

Rain helps the membranes

of my brain

sort out this pain

before my train

derails and wanes.

 

My world

rocks and shakes

when I sit still

but

seems to

stay the same

when I

walk in the rain.

To be out in the rain seems to sooth our pains...love your final verse, which I will contemplate for a while,
"My world
rocks and shakes
when I sit still
but
seems to
stay the same
when I
walk in the rain."

I like the expression in this piece. Isn't it strange how when we are in emotional pain we seek to be numb instead of feeling good, like it gives us less to fear from falling atop off of the emotional high?

Great Write!

Masterfully told by someone who would know and has known true pain.
