Poem by Melanie

 Why is it always gloomy when it rains

You cry and scream, won't let go of your pain

Try to be free but your heart's locked away

The clouds bring back feelings of disarray

Loud patter on window, a lovely rage

Storm gets to scream but you stay engaged

Your aura is cleansed and renewed when it rains

But you can't seem to find peace in the pain

"Be productive, stay focused . . . " as they say But it's hard when you can't be like the rain

Make something lovely from the anguish you faced

Just like the rain after its cry of distaste

Ooh to be like the rain

It blooms flowers

You bloom something great
