Rain

The rain starts with
a drizzle.
And it drizzles,
and drizzles,
and drizzles.
A thunder crack here,
A thunder crack there.
And then the sky splits
and the rain comes pouring
down, down, down.

Tears are the same.
They start with
a drop.
Another drop here,
Another drop there.
And then your mind breaks
and the tears come pouring
down, down, down.

Raining, crying--
they're basically the
same.
During the storm,
during the tears,
it's ugly.

But after the storm
and after the crying,
you realize that
that the rain has made
the Earth stronger, and
you realize that the
tears have made
you stronger.

Rain and tears cleanse us of
all the ugly things
on Earth, and leave
us with beauty, like
flowers and rainbows
and smiles.

And that's why storms are
good.
That's why crying is
good.
