Rain

I like to walk in the rain,

Because it hides my tears of pain.

I like the rumble of the thunder,

As it drowns the sound of my cries of agony and blunders.

I like my wet clothes,

Because my body then at least feels heavier than my heart and soul.

I like the smell of the petrichor,

Because at least then I can't smell my shame and blood.

I like it when the rainwater trickles my skin,

As it tries to wash away the day's sins.
