Steemit Open Mic Week 82 - (original song) Rain - @johnthefelon

Hello, Steemit. This is a song I wrote called "Rain."

Lyrics to "Rain"

Draw the shades, turn the lights down low
This feeling's come that I used to know
I know it's just a state of mind
But I've felt it coming for some time
It creeps and claws through my walls
Gets through cracks I couldn't see at all
If I'm headed for a fall
I know it won't come easy

It's getting dark, I hear the rain
Being blown against my window pane
These walls are strong, but I'm concerned about
All of the things I should've learned by now
I guess I'm better off alone
Lock myself inside my home
And be withdrawn from human touch
And things that make me think too much

I gotta keep myself from washing away
If I wait too long, not much will remain
I'll be all gone, just a shell
And blow away, but it's just as well
I gotta keep myself from washing away
Kill the thoughts running through my brain
Stupid things that cause me pain
Like my lonely window streaked with rain
