Why?

I don't know why I hang onto something
I once had when I've already lost it.
I don't know why I hold onto the past
when it gives me nightmares.
I don't know why Im afraid of losing
something I've already lost.
Life speeds around me as I stand still.
I see roses for their thorns
instead of their beauty.
I used to see beauty in the sun
but now I only find beauty in one thing, rain.
It hides my tears and helps me wash away my fears.
Too bad the rain never lasts....

I love this poem, especially the last two lines. I can completely relate to it and I think it was magnificently written. Yes, magnificently. I can't wait to read more of your work.

This was beautiful. It shows how even the most beautiful things get overshadowed when someone is down in the dumps. I think- everyone experienced these feelings atleast once in their life. Great job.
