Damaged

Raining outside when I awoke
And I step out in my part-time pajamas
The ones that come off in the middle of the night
When I am hot, whether you are there or not

I walk outside and find myself walking
Further, a cleansing of the soul if not the disease
And having overmedicated myself, I find
That the clouds weep both for Mother Nature
And for everything that I leave behind.

I am damaged.

I can pretend the rain washes it away as I walk
And that I am pure, and loveable
And that every person that I tell won't look at me
And find a way, any way, to tell me that Yes, I am
Lovely, but they are just not ready for me.  

I am damaged.  
And no rain will take it away
No medication will take it away
And no love will ever make it through.
And you.  You will never look at me the same.

I will keep on walking in this rain.
