                             I love the rain.
                  Each drop quenches the earth's thirst.
                          Each drop giving life.

                             I hate the rain.
                     Each drop, a dagger to my soul.
                         Eating away my identity.
                               Killing me.

                             I love the rain.
                        Each drop hides my sorrow.
                    Each drop washing away yesterday.

                             I hate the rain.
                            Each drop, a tear.
                            Flowing endlessly,
                    In a never-ending pool of sorrow.



RAIN


"Curse everything!"
"Why do I have to be like this, why do I feel like putty in your presence?"
"Why can't I tell you what I feel?"

It begins to drizzle.

He looks up and shouts to the skies
"Why are you mocking me?!!"
"What have I done to receive this, this punishment?"

"First you curse me with this bad sense of direction!"
"Then you cursed me by giving me the body of a pig!"
"Then what?"
"Them you had to ruin my life even more!"
"You had to take away from me the one I care for"

"It's my other self she likes, not the real me"
"She likes him, not me!"
"How could I tell her, that her beloved pet is me?"
"How would she react?"
"She'd think of me as a low life form"
"No, she'll kill me and eat me for supper"

It began to pour.

"Noooooooooo......"
"You're messing with my mind!"
"I can't take this any longer!"

A bright light filled that sad sky.
