Fire and rain !

A burning desire; A heart on fire. Reaching for the skies; Ignoring the lies. Unfulfilled dreams; Survival by any means. Standing in the pouring rain; Fully aware there is nothing to gain. Buffeted and tossed; Rejected and lost. Struggling upstream; None can hear the scream. Silently it rises; Hurt and regret it excises. The roaring fire consumes; The raging river exhumes. From the depths of a weary soul; The real story is yet to be told. A Kandase original.

Someone's story - not mine. Yes I agree , it is very heartfelt.

@Kandae11 I am so glad to hear so. Thought your pain has been buried good by now (when I was reading that poem and a bit puzzled). We should all become too jaded by now .

That's really good. The title reminds me of one of James Blunt finest songs Tears and Rain. I think You should listen to it.
