Another Rainey Day

As I walk down the street

 With my old school to my right

And my rain cloud above me

I search

I’ve been searching

For years now

I don’t remember why

I look at my grey cloud

And the blue drops of water

That falls down on me

As I slide my hand through my soaked hair

And watch the dry citizens walk by me

I try to remember

Remember why I am searching

Some wall blocks my thoughts

Like someone has broken a mental bridge

Now there’s no way to cross

I look straight forward

To the citizens that mind their own

Then to the ones that greet and give hugs

And I have to ask myself, where do I fit in

The grey cloud that follows me

Has become a friend

If that is what I am looking for

Maybe I am looking for a home

Somewhere where I can live

The idea seemed vague

Or maybe I am looking for a family

A man walks up to me

 Waves at me, and gives the common “Hello”

That the greeters give to each other

I wave back

He asked me how I am doing

I told him I didn’t know

The man just smiles

And gives me a hug

I feel a warm feeling in my heart

I see my grey cloud slowly shrink

 And disappear

This is what I am searching for
