Acid Rain

Days I feel ill

are the days I play

in acid rain;

burning,

vomiting,

aching.

Days I feel dead

are the days I play

in acid rain;

feeling

alive

again.

Days I feel depressed

are the days I play

in acid rain;

the thrill,

the risk,

the consequence.

In acid rain,

although jailed by

its hazardous drops

I felt this

strange, but happy

feeling that I

never felt in

just normal rain.

In normal rain

I felt dull,

like the grey

clouds they harbor.

But in acid

rain, I felt

this rush of

energy within me,

telling me that

it's totally okay

to be alive.

So, my friend,

these are the days;

the days I

play in acid rain.
