Thunder and Rain


Thunder is like the anger inside me

all built up waiting to be released

and once it's finally released

it transforms.

transforms right into rain

rain is like the tears that flow freely

freely out of my eyes

and down my face

and the rain keeps pouring

until there is no rain anymore

and the storm clears

but it will soon come back.
