My view #16

Book signing, NYC |
Alexandra Elle, "Words from A Wanderer."

Pouring Peace:

I had to learn to embrace the rain.
I needed to realize that cloudy days were sometimes more than alright.
Crying in the shower is where I felt most sane, most safe.
The scorching hot water left welts on my brown skin but at least the dirty tears were given a place to be washed away.
I was ashamed and hurting for so long.
Hiding was my only option when the sunshine had taken heed to the horizon.
I am OK now.
The sunlight isn't the only thing that makes me happy anymore now that I can endure my storms.
