I Don’t Want To / But I Must

I don’t want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers.


I don’t want to be the cloud on a summer’s day.


I don’t want to be the one to shower on sand pit.


I don’t want to be the one to dim the ray.


But I am a cloud and I am full of rain.


I need to release, but I keep it in until I feel pain.


I hold it tight inside my fluff, but it must come out and I must give up.


I don’t want to be the one to ruin a perfect day.


Have they not had enough?


I can’t keep it in, I must allow the rain.


I release the water and begin to fade.


But as I do I feel a warmth from behind.


I turn myself and the light almost blinds.


The spectrum of colour we call a rainbow has come out and it’s all because I freed myself.


I didn’t try to be something I wasn’t.


I am a raincloud and I’m not a weed, I’m a blossom.
