The Rain Hides My Tears

The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

So Many Commitments Lost

So many commitments lost
So many not fulfilled
Looking at myself
In disgust
For not being where I should.

So many changes
Were not mine.

Life goes on but in the meantime
Let me be the person
I should and want to be
Not losing anything that is dear
And right now lost to me.
