I’m listening to the rain fall
Like the beating of a shallow heart
As it hits my window I stop
And try to pretend that it’s my rhythm.

But I know that I can’t find my song.
I can feel that it’s waiting for me,
My yet to be spoken destiny.
And I wonder where it’s hiding.

All these years I have held onto
The memories of the past
And I will run in circles
Unless I push myself past

The future holds so many open doors
And I don’t know which one to take
But if I wait for another second
I’ll get lost in the storm

This is for the Poetry Slam Scholarship, and it's about how I feel about my future and how I'm going to get there.

This is such a cool poem- I loved how you wrote about rain falling and the imagery makes it seem more like a small downpour, but by the last line of the poem it is a full storm! Using this imagery helped relate the changing rain to the uncertainty we all have in the journey of life.
