These rainy days are never planned.
Sometimes coming like a light shower,
Barely noticeable but still there.
It creeps in as the days get gloomy
With all the gray clouds and hazy air.
These rainy days come down
Pouring just enough
To give me the space to shed a tear.
Without anyone noticing
How weak I am.
My mother always told me.
"Wait for the rainy days to cry out loud",
For on these darker days in the rain
And roaring thunder,
No one can hear the sound,
As I shout out my frustrations,
I choke on my words and begin to stutter.
Through all my weeping and uncontrollable coughing.
Crying and spitting out all the agony
Letting out all my pain.
Putting forth an open heart
Just for a chance to show the world my invisible scars.
Taking full advantage
To let it all go.
The pain, the suffering, and the past hurt
That I know I ain't deserve.
Praying in my silence after I cried every tear,
That the rain and thunder will carry my secret
And never share the weight
That I've been carrying for so long
And can no longer bear.
Smiling finally
Because I was able to release all the pain,
Hoping it will rain again
For another chance to let it all out
Because only on rainy days do I get to cry out loud.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
