-Faces in the Rain The emptiness of my imagination is felt in the coldness of the day The clouds cry as if they too are lonely The sky is dark and shrouded in sorrow My eyes look for the light that I cannot see Nothing is unique it is just another day I walk transfixed, eyes focused on the water that dampens my thoughts People mechanically pass by but do not look or acknowledge my fears The silence is muted by the deafening noise of the world Places mean nothing anymore, no feelings, no laughter Objects that once represented happiness now remind me of my sensitivity I am lost but appear as if I am whole I continue the journey on the road I must take Each corner means another step that is more difficult than the last I await for a familiar sign or symbol that will allow me to move forth Until that day, I am not where I want to be You can't see me amongst the faces in the rain Emmett Patrick Finnegan
Reason for writing:
I like to write when I feel an emotion or see something that inspires me to write.
I do not think about the poem or create it over time. I just sit down when I think of a certain line
or title and I just write it right then and there. I never go back and change it because what I write is what I am feeling
right at that moment and by reading it later I can recreate that feeling or emotion. Thanks for reading my poem!
Cheers,
Emmett
