I walked through the rain today
I wasn't wearing any shoes
I wasn't wearing any make-up
I felt lost and confused
I ran out of the house today
To walk aimlessly in the rain
To get away from you, my sister
I finally stood up for myself today
I finally stood up to my big sister
For years I've listened to you
Ranting on and on about your life
I try to get a word in, but...
Like a snake you lash out and bite me
I didn't run away today
I walked away from you
I walked away from listening to your ranting
I walked away from being put down
Me walking away was me standing up
Walking away me saying enough
You say I'm a drama queen
You say I always run away
You say I have it so much easier than you
You always say that
So before I walked away I tried to argue
I tried to tell you my side of my life
But you didn't want to hear it
You didn't want to hear my life from my mouth
You wanted to watch from the side lines
You wanted to judge my life that way
So I walked away
I took off my socks, no time for shoes
I left the house with no make-up on
I left the house and walked into the rain
But before I got too far
I turned back to you, standing in the door
I told you how I felt and then I left
I was cold and wet and I had no where to go
But...I finally stood up from myself today
I finally just walked away

Note: This really did happen and I really was wondering around in the rain,
no where to go, no shoes on, cold and wet, and I wasn't wearing any
make-up so I'm sure I looked more than a little scary. My sister
isn't a bad person...she just doesn't seem to like to listen.
