I was born on a hot july night but I have always found solace in the rain, I am a snowflake rather than a hot summer breeze, which makes me sad. I feel beautiful over summer, and disgusting during winter, But there is something creative hidden in the grey skies and thunderstorms, That I miss greatly as soon as June comes around. I can not write or paint when I feel beautiful, I am too busy, dancing, flirting, singing. I can not be angry when the stranger smiles at me on the bus, Or when the man tells me I'm the prettiest sight he has seen this year, I can only write angry poems, about the raindrops, and lightning and the warmth of a bed, when I feel sad. I blossom in winter. And wilt and die as my birthday arrives.
