I used to like the rain...

I used to like the rain

Its gentle pattern

The nice cozy feeling

Even the thunder and the lightning

Splitting the sky and sending shivers

Then a rainbow, a promise to all

But the promise is just words

As my body screams

Some mumbo jumbo about pressure and moisture

Sure as the rainfall

Has a different meaning now

A thousand phrases

Have added colors

Unfortunately they all seem to be

Black and blue

Beyond The Rainbow's End

‘Cause it’s time to stop running

I’ll just stand my ground

These circles I’m spinning in

Make me lose what I’ve found

Without my balance

I’ll just keep losing my way

My numerous talents

Get brushed simply away

A steady hand reaches out

The frantic spinning stops

My balance is restored now

The right side is back on top

Problems cease to exist now

My journey is at an end

Time’s rightful march continue on

Beyond the rainbow’s bend

Antonio's Struggle

Hiding in plain sight

With no spies to fell me

Who would ever suspect

This pathetic shell

Not good enough

For anyone to notice

Antonio’s Struggle

Is mine as well

Not that I’m smart

Or pretty or talented

Or any such qualifier

That marks me as great

When everyone notices

Actions that get taken

But never the person

That’s making the waves

Calms seas are coming

The skies will grow blue

After the storm comes

The rainbow shows through
