Thunder

Thunder Victoria Gloria

Have you ever noticed how thunder is so loud

Forecast said it would ease to a drizzle in a few minutes

Gimme some time, it’ll be okay

even then I would still be able to hear the whispers

of the searing 

hot 

rain on my ears

I know, I’m sorry sweety, lemme handle it

A week later, all sunshine and rainbows

No more thunder, finally some blue skies… I could go

to the beach and hang with friends

What did I tell you, everything. is. fine.

But since I had chosen to stay here and it was still winter,

I knew I needed to buy a rain jacket, 

but I was so

busy

Why did I choose to stay.

I was busy but,

I knew I should’ve bought a rain jacket

or called someone, so that they could help

and then he hit her, and the mark of his hand 

on my mama’s face still burns red 

everytime I look at her, as she looked at me

“Nobody does what I f*cking want them to do”
