to you i am only rain
to you i am only rain
a bucketfull of water
escaping from the clouds
do you really think so little of me
maybe i am a falling fountain
but you cannot climb a ladder
a hill of stairs
to a more beautiful level of thought
i don't understand
why i am so simply termed to you
or why you cannot define me
beyond my looks
maybe you are reluctant
to look within my essence
defining me by a limited definition
and a name called rain
there is so much more to me
i live, breathe and dance through the sky
in different temperaments
i am alive , i have a past and a future
droplets of rain are all you see
a face with a laugh
a sad outer shell
but you know nothing of me
so define me how you wish
a bucketfull of water
escaping from the clouds
do you really think so little of me
maybe i am a falling fountain
but you cannot climb a ladder
a hill of stairs
to a more beautiful level of thought
i don't understand
why i am so simply termed to you
or why you cannot define me
beyond my looks
maybe you are reluctant
to look within my essence
defining me by a limited definition
and a name called rain
there is so much more to me
i live, breathe and dance through the sky
in different temperaments
i am alive , i have a past and a future
droplets of rain are all you see
a face with a laugh
a sad outer shell
but you know nothing of me
so define me how you wish

Author's Note
i wanted to write about the rain but underneath this is more of a meaning .. i guess about whats below the surface .. we sometimes just see the surface without looking any deeper, i guess thats what i mean

Hello david . Thanku! I really appreciate the read and comment . Glad you liked the meaning behind this . I guess its probably linked to low opinions of people the lines " do you really think so little of me " disappointment for not being seen for who one really is but also a realisation that we are more and that there is a depth that some people cannot or are unwilling to see .

my vote sadly would be 'Unwilling' most are blinded by what has become society's norm, sadly that is sick and twisted. Try to ignore toxic people and keep writing, you clearly have talent :-))))))
