so it's gray and rainy out.
i love that combination.
it wasn't rainin' real hard that you
had to keep your head down when you
walked. it was rainin just enough to
let you know it.
i walked and got lost in the clouds and
the puddles. and the clouds in the puddles.
somewhere along the line i realized i felt just
the same as when i was a kid walkin' in the rain.
my mom would drive up to the elementary school
to pick me up so i didn't have to walk home in it.
all my friends would pile in with her, i'd hand her
my books, wave goodbye as my mom drove away with my
friends and my books, and then i'd walk home. all
by myself. me and the puddles.
i had that same feelin' today. just me and the puddles
and bein' lost in it.
when i came inside i went to my room to change.
it was dark. i didn't turn a light on. just changed
clothes and reached for the door to go.
on the back of my door is a mirror.
it's too dark to look in the mirror and see all the
things i usually see wrong with myself.
i just saw me in the grayness.
and i smiled.
'you're gonna be okay.' i thought.
'cause you always have you, no matter what.'
funny.
i don't know where that came from.
but it felt really good.
and really right.
