Rain.......
Silent......dark..... relentless rain,
Pouring despair into everything,
Soaking all in sadness,
And filling all with dread,
It falls with no mercy,
It falls without pity,
It falls without direction,
It falls without purpose,
It sails endlessly through the air, driven downward by gravity's cruel hand,
Pushed forcibly,
Onward to its final destination,
It hits without stopping, without hesitation, without care,
It spreads, cold, cruel, and unforgiving,
It pools, merciless, desperate, and miserable,
And we take it all in,
As the drops fall,
Ever downward,
Screaming as they go..........

*Note: I originally wrote this in 6th grade, so some things might seem a bit different than what I write now. I found it scribbled on the inside of a composition notebook. It's interesting the things people find. I guess that's how some of the hidden gems of writing are made. Fascinating as it may be, I tweaked only the structure, the words being already perfect. Who knew such a thing could become of a depressed boy's bleak outlook on rain?
