Standing in the Rain

a poem by sissybug

 

Standing

waiting

the thunder cracks

one little drip hits your face

a few more fall

sprinkles

you smile

through all the pain

though all the hurt

through all the sorrow

the only one who understands

crack! thunder again

harder

these drips falling all around you

lightning strikes

a chill runs up your spin

you feel the need to run

running through this rainfall

the only think you see

a blur

the world passing you by

faster and faster

you fall

the rain still pouring

but no one can see

the tears streaming

the rain is like camouflauge

to your very soul

keeping the world from seeing your pain

with one final crack you stop

picking yourself up

putting on a smiling and standing

alone

in the rain.

What a beautiful image! The rain is soo magical....it's touching. I can always think deeper when I watch rain. And sometimes when your depressed, the rain can be a blanket and comfort. Excellent.

I like it especially the double meaning of the thunder. Just be careful of typos such as "the rais is still puring" :)

Very relatable, like the imagery.
