The Rain

Written on 12 June 2019

And the rain clatters and burns.

It won't stop.

It won't relent.

And it chips chunks out of me.

And I scrabble on the floor, collecting the chunks, attempting to make them part of me again, but the rain won't stop.

And above anything else, I just want to make sure there is enough of me to exist, but the rain is making it hard.

But I know a break will come.

A parting of the clouds.

A divine intervention.

Whatever the hell you want to call it.

And the rain will relent, and I can haphazardly rebuild myself on a wave of warmth.

Waiting for the rain to come again. Ready to face it.

Hopefully stronger than I was last time.
