sometimes the rain decides
to rip the sky apart
reminding me of the confusion
that's sometimes in my heart
or other times it drowns out
the words i wish i had said
reminding me of the chaos
unfurling in my head
sometimes i like the rain because it understands
how badly i need it to wash away the day
and gives me hope that
if the world can feel like this too,
maybe i'll turn out okay.
