(and p.s. this poem has no title)
I walk outside in the rain
Expecting cold downpour.
What I expect is my experience,
Drenched.
My face lifts up
Watching the droplets pummel to the ground.
Standing stock-still,
Ignoring calls of my name.
Who enjoys this cold?
Why do people praise this feeling?
I cannot appreciate the chill
As it settles in my face, in my bones.
I will be lonely this winter
Though I am warmer than most.
In my room, hiding
Waiting for the chill to lift.
Summer is long in coming
As I stand outside.
Waiting to be drenched in sunshine
Instead of sadness.
