Rain

Though dark clouds loomed you left your safe place.
You even left your umbrella behind just to save face.
You do things like that all the time.
Leaving most of us to wonder why.
Is it an effort to be accepted?
Or you thought you'd be unaffected?
No matter the reason the ground is changing color.
The concrete gray is becoming duller.
The sun no longer shines for you.
But you're at a complete loss as what to do.
You can't run back to get your umbrella now.
You need shelter, but how?

And now as you stand amid the endless falling rain.
It mixes with your tears as you're the only one to blame.
But we'll leave you with a helpful little thought.
Even the "Great Flood" started with a single drop.
