we can all say stupid things sometimes.
we can all regret the words
that stumble from our mouths
at 4am
when we’re drunk
angry
sad.
and maybe we can’t take back
the things we’ve said
collect them from the sky
and bottle them up
like they were never spoken.
but that doesn’t mean
we can’t make things better.
that doesn’t mean
that the person won’t forgive us
for being a little silly.
because at the end of the day,
we can all say stupid things sometimes

Some people
bask in the sunshine,
soak up the rays
within their skin
and feel the warmth
swimming through their veins.
Others find happiness
in the rain.
Water droplets falling around them,
hand outstretched
into the storm,
feeling the rain hitting bare skin.

Some people
find sadness
in the rain,
umbrellas facing the cloudy sky,
rain boots splashing
in depthless puddles.
Others find sorrow
within the sun rays,
restless hands waving fans
in sweaty faces.

You can’t appreciate the sunshine
if you have never experienced the storm,
they say.
