poem on a rainy night

it's rainy in my town tonight
the weather's kind of crappy
it's cold and wet and yeah I bet
it's late because I'm slappy

it's nights like these i start to think
there's holes inside a life
that starts with cries and lullabies
and ends with toil and strife

it means you move across the world
because of what is right
and even though you leave and go
you still get mugged that night

you fight and win you fight and lose
but lose more than you fight
this callous world, it takes it's tole
what's left is barely bright

it's then you know and so you blow
to fan the little flame
that fights to burn and so you learn
how you fit in the blame

it doesn't mean you're paranoid
or scared to light a room
it only means you're smarter now
though memories will loom

cause in this life there is no hope
no shelter in the rain
and the other end of the tunnel now
is probably a train

so maybe there is something more
than what this world can bring
and maybe there is something that
can make you want to sing

and maybe there is something
that was not created here
and maybe there is someone who
is stronger than a tear

and maybe it is not too far
to carry all this load
and make a dreary, rainy night
a stroll along the road
