I never wake up to rain. The morning seems to slip through my curtains by whatever possible means and I am not granted hazy awakenings. Glaring snow. Hot sun. Bleak white skies. Anything but the gentle taps of rainfall on my window, I wake up to my world on fire, I wake up to chaos, I spend my day, I hush the skies back to a gentle pattering before I sleep, To begin again the next day, But I never wake up to rain.
A personal poem about my experience living with anxiety.
