Rainy Days

On days like today
I question everything I'm feeling
like if the sky is really the limit
why do my hands keep hitting the ceiling
or what is it about pain 
that we find so appealing 
and why do we favor medication
over the powers of self-healing
so many questions
I'm going out of my mind
that's why I scream in silence
for answers I've yet to find
no one can hear me
only the universe knows 
I listen to whispers in the wind
so I look forward to when it blows
my only outlet is helping people
I can't help it if I make a connection
those who've reacted negatively
have been shown their own reflection
part of me wishes I wasn't so different 
why do I have to be this way
but I still question what it is to be normal
especially on days like today
