this surrounding heat suffocates me
it tries to force me open and outside
fingers scratch at my skin with misery
trying to uncover the secrets that hide
bring me all the melancholy of rain
gentle clouds, reassuring thunder
give me time to heal from pain
space to recuperate and recover
i crave a day of rainstorm and solitude
a water shield to keep out the world
a day of warm drinks and comfort foods
and to be myself without judgement
bring me all the silence of storms
extinguishing all the world's noise
through lightning i am again born
the old sorrows of me destroyed
remembering the puddles of rain
a splash of mirth and messy chaos
i drown all the fears made of flames
nourishing waves uplift the taniwha
it tries to force me open and outside
