When it Rains, it Pours


Thunderstorms sent to water my seeds 

Catching me in its streams 

Stripes on my face 

Waterfalls run down my eyes 

Umbrellas sent to hide 

Stay sheltered from the pain 

Overpowered by these winds 

I let go ...

I fall again 

Beaten by these drops

Praying for it to stop

Pushed down to the ground 

On my knees I scream 

Skies calling on the heavens 

Why must it rain 

How did I get washed away 

My seeds drenched 

Stuck alone in ditch

Looking for Mother Nature

They call out 

But lost I am 

Drowned by these thunderstorms.
