sometimes i love the rainy days so my mind and this pain can drift away sometimes i love the rainy days so my mind and this pain can drift away sometimes i love the rainy days so my mind and this pain can drift away sometimes i love the rainy days tears from heaven rain down and cleanse me i m out of control sometimes so much stuff s on my mind i m trying to find the right path to walk on maintain and be strong but i don t know how long i can keep on sleep on it my partner said and then nightmares of troubled times invade the space in my head i d rather be dead often than to deal with the pain and pressure so let the rain fall and take it away all forever but you can never be rid of troubled times you can run away try ot block it out but they gon stay stand firm so we gotta learn how to deal with it look life in the eye be real with it i m still getting bits and pieces of womanhood finally starting to realize that being grown ain t all good i would rather be eight at my mom s place cuddled and sheltered from the pain but for now i ma leave it with the rain please let it rain before my man comes home maybe he ll wanna talk and practice between my thighs instead of on my eyes while my i going throught this i keep asking myself does somebody really love you taking blows at you controlling you and do you really love yourself i don t know it s like i can t think for myself anymore i m looking at the door lord please give me the courage to step and if i do will i regret the day i left is he the best thing to ever happen to me and is it a minor flaw when he leaves scars after beating me or can it be my self eteem left with the first bruise lord will i ever be a victim on the evening news i m so confused i ve got more blues than b b he keeps on pushing and hitting and shoving and then claiming that he loves me for life trying to call me his wife no rings of course so can i give all this pain to the rain let it pour will i ever ever ever in my ruggedy life live in a happy home and be a happy man s wife no cheating no fights connected to wealth and proud to look in the mirror and love myself i think not my hand full of dreams is all i got one wishing that the rain could make it all stop top it off more all the exit doors are locked click change up got my brain detained and stained what am i to do lord please talk to me this bottle of valiums keeps calling me  and he spoke gave a sister award of hope i m bout to take my life back for sho no more waiting for things to happen for me heaven s tears got me seeing things clearly i love the rain to fade
