Tears In the Rain

A Poem by Jenni Bailey

My life has consistent unapologetic rain

I have an aimless emotional weather vane

My tears and the rain pour the same

You won’t even know it’s name

They fall at the same time

It’ll trick you into thinking I’m fine

It’s left me cold and wet

I’m telling myself not to fret

Because I don’t own this unapologetic rain

It’s the people who say my name in vain
