Dripping Happiness

When you see me walk in pouring rain,

Do not run up to me and scream my name.

Don't ask me of my problems, you'll never feel my pain.

It will not change anything, even if I complain.

Instead let me walk alone, let me reminisce.

Let me imagine a different life away from all this.

As this is the only time when I don't make a fist.

Leave me in silence, leave me with my bliss.

Some find their peace among their peers.

Others might just get over it among the years.

I find at every corner of my mind some doubt, some fear.

And none may know, but my best help comes from a tear.

Next moment you see me playing in my liquid sunshine,

Leave me in peace, for this time, I never whine.

Leave me in peace so that water can flow down my face and spine.

For this is my moment of bliss. A very short time.

I feel the same way sometimes... Lovely poem about the struggles many people may have with no one really understanding.

[Chris Yip]

Well written poem about one's emotional struggles that is so much a part of us and everyday life. The mental battles that go on in one's mind can be so overwhelming. As usual good flow and pace with strong expression and taste of words. Well done again.

After reading some of your story; "The Shambles" I really wasn't expecting to read something this deep. Superb.

[Poisoned Hearts]

Ah, I love this. No one can understand one's journey but themselves.

Very beautiful.

Oh dear, I just HAD to add something else! HAD too, I tell you. You see, I really do love this poem.

"playing in my liquid sunshine" -- now that's brilliance right there for you.
Keep reading, keep writing, and keep listening to underground hip-hop. It'll get you anywhere! ;)

Wow.
This is perhaps one of the most hit-home poems for me that I have ever read on this site. Or perhaps just anywhere. I feel like I wrote this--it seems like you've picked my mind!

Is now in my library.

You explained the unexplainable with beautiful words and beautiful rhymes. And that, my friend, takes talent.
Round of applause to you.

I would, if I could, further you with complements, however; I am stunned speechless.

"And none may know, but my best help comes from a tear."
I love that line! We often tend to help ourselves recover from some things but deep inside our hearts, we are truly hurt and burdened...
Ok...I really think that this poem is excellent...From the flow, choice of words, topic, some of the rhymes and everything in it!
The ending is powerful too...It left me quite speechless...
Once again, Tai, I was amazed by your work! Well done!
