Rainy day

Rumble rumble I hear thunder,
Here and there a streak of lightning.
Dark sky, I stand under,
Alone and cold - the air so frightening.

Chilly winds that scorn my skin,
Amidst them all, I stand helpless,
Shuddering, I feel, my rattling chin,
Every second that goes by, hapless.

A scar on my chest,
Suddenly it starts bleeding,
Am caught in this tempest,
I stand there, my lonliness dreading.

Fear mounting, it seems so cancerous,
Rain drops or pelting stones,
Souls that drift frivolous,
And there I lay, caught in this jones.
