No Umbrella Needed

Clouds roll in, I hesitate

Caught between fear and fate

One breath, one thought, one chance to start

Can I trust this trembling heart?

Clouds hang low, sky turns grey

I stall again, lost halfway

The rain taps soft against my skin

Another step I hold within

What if I choose the wrong turn now?

What if I fall and don’t know how?

This doubt’s a fog I can’t see through

But staying still won’t make it true

No umbrella, just the rain

Washing off my fear and shame

I’ve been stuck, afraid to move

But storms can clear, and skies improve

Footsteps echo in empty streets

Dreams feel distant, like retreat

The world moves on, I stay the same

Hoping someone else will name my flame

The “what if” thoughts still circle tight

But silence won’t bring morning light

I’ll shake the doubt, one drop at a time

And chase the sun that waits to shine

No umbrella, just the rain

Washing off my fear and shame

I’ve been stuck, afraid to move

But storms can clear, and skies improve

Let the water blur my tears

Let the wind erase the years

Even soaked, I’m more alive

Than hiding where I used to survive

No umbrella, let it pour

I’m not who I was before

Every drop that hit the ground

Helped me hear a braver sound

So here I go, step by step

Heart’s not dry, but no regrets

Raindrops fall, but I can see

That moving on sets something free
