i long to be outside these confines i am sheltered in i want to be out where the rain can wash over me droplets trickling down my neck i want my tears to mingle with the pure liquid gathering on my body i want to feel my hair, plastered to my head, dripping wet my clothes, soaked through straight to the bone straight to the heart i want the rain to wash over me cleanse me purify me i want it to carry away all my feelings as it drips to the ground so i can start out fresh and new like the earth after a brief winter storm as the droplets fall fewer and fewer i want to feel that sense of calm in my heart that i feel around me and when finally it is quiet not a drop falling from the sky i will finally feel at peace
Reason for writing:
a late night winter storm, while i was laying awake thinking about this corrupt world i live in
