Purple Rain

When one crack sneaks its way across a mirror, another crack is sure to follow and another and another

And before you know it you’ve went from damaged to broken

From one line cracked unevenly to tiny shattered pieces that don’t fit evenly

From talking it out to blocking it out

It’s okay to talk it out

I pray you don’t block it out

And I know I just compared broken pieces of life to broken pieces of glass

But aren’t we all fragile and weak in some way?

Aren’t we all fighting our pain in some way?

And aren’t we all dismayed

Don’t we all have pain

I pray away your dismay

I pray you overcome your pain

I pray that even when you crack you don’t break

Don’t misunderstand me, your hurt I will not underestimate

My only intention is for you to elevate

I want you to be reengaged with the things you love

I want to eliminate all the things that burn and sting like salted wounds

My dearly beloved I am here to rescue you

I can see your scars, I know how they burn and ache, I know your pain, because I have them too

So, let’s cry in the rain together so no one else can see our tears

If I could, I would paint the clouds and shower you with purple rain

The perfect rain

If all rain was purple, we would all be healed

Let us take a moment to salute Prince and all his legacy healed

Let’s cry together as loud as doves cry

And then maybe we will have some peace if only for one night

Cuz baby know that I will die for you! Only if you want me to!

So, with peace, I pray your peace from all your every piece that life has shattered

And I am here to help you gather them all

And together we will knock down those walls

And together, together, you and I, will make every no yes and every yes, no

We will make every uncertainty clear so everybody knows

Just how strong we are

And strong you are

So, shine bright like the star you are

And light is within you

You are light and there is light at the end of every dark tunnel

and if I could squeeze away your pain, all night I would cuddle you, cuddle you healed

So today I conclude with yes, it’s okay not to be okay

No, it’s not okay to not be okay and say you’re okay

So, when you’re not okay, I am your friend

And when you are okay, I am still your friend

Because together, together, you and I, we are friends
