30. Under the Rain

I am trapped and I hunger,
I yearn for the day.
When bonds become weightless
And the chains fall away.

I am hurt and I anger
At the unfairness of life,
That rips apart families,
And husband from wife.

I am trapped in this cycle
Of pain and despair.
Begging for someone
To show that they care.

I hunger for freedom,
For laughter and love.
To twirl in the moonlight
Bathed by stars from above.

I hurt for the innocence
Once gone, never found.
The heel of the boot
Grinding souls in the ground.

I anger, I rage
At my own inability
To rescue the hurting;
To set myself free.

But all this is a shadow
Of the wish I would ask.
It's a selfish wish
Please don't take me to task.

But this one wish I dream of,
If wishes came true.
Is to kiss under the rain
One last time, me and you.
