Okay, so Rihanna just made a song about it, but it’s funny how music often parallels our life so effortlessly. Well this time, I heard the song, and began to think, where’s my umbrella? Where is the girl…that…I can come to on a rainy day?
“When the sun shines, we'll shine together.
Told you I'll be here forever.
Said I'll always be a friend.
Wow. If only I could somehow find the girl that could be the visual translation of that quote…but people now-a-days seem to have lost the idea of being there forever. Almost certainly that would be my problem, but no. I can’t even find the girl…it sucks to feel unwanted at every turn in your life. It sucks to feel like you’re coming in second, third, fourth or worse.
You begin to question yourself. Question everything about yourself. Enter a period of depression, when really it could be cured by just one thing. You can’t tell anyone about it…they’ll never understand. They never do. They think they do, but don’t we all think we have the answers for each other’s problems?
Truth is, no one cares for anyone outside of themselves. Truly. Think about how many times someone has failed you. Who is the only person to never have, in some way, failed you? Yourself. And even then…we sometimes slip.
However, it’s not all negative. Although people fail each other, our hearts can be good-natured. We can lift each other up. We can be each other’s….umbrella.
I just wish I had one…
When the world has took us part.
When the world has done its cause.
If the hand is hard.
Together we'll mend your heart.
Because…..You can stand under my umbrella.
