rain pours down
millions of tiny iron fists
colliding with my skin
as i bid this awful place farewell
life was so terrible here
and i have no regrets as i turn
to walk away through the rain
i can already feel the alien burst
of happiness starting to grow
as i leave this house behind
joy is a new feeling for this week
all i have felt is depression,
loneliness, ennui,
now it has all lifted
and hope is born in small bubbles
rising to meet me as i go back
back to the place of my origin
to see all the faces i hold so close
and then to hold them close
tears have stopped falling
in their place,
a small smile
hesitant, unfamiliar,
but there nonetheless
and i am filled with hope
i know everything will be better
