One Rainy Night
I was looking outside the window
One Tuesday night of July
While the rain keeps pouring
Many thoughts keep coming back in my mind.
The silence of the night
Contributes to my longing
Longing for the answer
I am always searching.
Am I just hiding the fact?
That loneliness is creeping on me
Like the darkness of the night which
Hides the imperfections of this world.
Is the loneliness brought about by the weatherÂ
Or the weather only aggravates the feelings?
Whatever the reason is
I am still here feeling empty.

You are not alone feeling this way. The backdrop may differ but it is all the same and there are millions of people out there who feels the same way as you do.
This is common for OFW’s and the ones they left behind.
I have one favorite line from one of Bob Marley’s song “None but ourselves can free our minds.”
