Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

You Had It Worse


Don’t be angry,

It’ll only cause trouble.

I only end up lectured

So don’t share your anger.


Hide it behind

The mask of indifference.

If they ask what’s wrong say,

“Nothing. I’m fine.”


I’m sick of showing anger

Only to be met with a lecture,

Advice I never asked for,

And platitudes that worsen my attitude.


I’m sick of people saying

I shouldn’t feel this way

Because they had it worse.

I was just having one bad day.


If they ask what’s wrong,

I’ll say, “Everything’s fine.”

If they pry, I’ll say,

“I’m fine. I’m sure you had it worse.”
