Hard Times

I recently found out that a close friend of mine has been going through hard times. I've definitely had my fair share. I wanted to dedicate this piece to him:


Dark clouds and grey skies
    floating in my bathtub
Waves of raindrops
    falling on my open hands
As I bathe in God's tears
    soaked in regret
       dripping with remorse
Heavy is the pain
    engulfed by secret burdens
       overwhelmed and defeated
Drifting in oblivion
    spinning into the abyss
      drained of motivation
Left with no hope
    searching for a rainbow
And even so
I lather up
And grab my towel
Not to throw in
    but to wrap around my waist
