i put on my headphones
to shut out the world;
shut and lock my door
as quickly and quietly as possible,
and though the loud music
is a good distraction,
i'm still aware of the thunderstorm that's going on.
i stand on my knees
and pray to the stars
or anyone, anything that might be listening
to make it all come to an end
and skip to the rainbows
that come after the rain.
