Poem.

Okay. In order to free up some space on my desktop I need to post this thing here. It's been lurking on my desktop for a few months now ever since an emo rainy day in December. The quality of the poem tends to the mediocre as would be expected of something done in about ten minutes and left to rot and is unedited. Also for those who get the impression that I somehow am a rather good writer i am NOT. My very first General Paper (GP) essay diagnostic test came back today. I got an E. Also the teacher's remarks were vey cursive and intelligible and so i have to consult her someday to get tips for writing. Hopefully i have the time for that.



<The Rain>

I love the rain.

Its sound comforts me
Warming and enveloping me in its kindness
Letting me sleep soundly
As I listen to the pitter-patter of raindrops
hit the ground.

I love the rain.

It paints the sky dark
And it seems as though somebody high above
Actually cares for me.
Weeping for me
While I cry into my pillow.

I love the rain.

It paints the world a monochrome colour
Everything is either black or white or everything in between
As I turn off the lights to absorb
This surreal beauty
That wraps around me.

I love the rain.

It washes away everything else
The sound of my hideous piano playing
The despair that I have fallen into
As though a lid has covered them all
And I am clean once more

I love the rain.
