The drumming drip, drip, dripping drops of rain draw pitter-patter patterns on my brain. And I am slowly slip-sliding past sane, as endless dripping drops drive me insane. For many miserable months, it pours, and a deep depression drains me of hope. My misery manifests as bedsores; deprived of sunlight, I struggle to cope. It's a moody, melancholy Monday, another awful, rotten, rainy day. As that rat-a-tat-tat sound slams away, monsoon madness is on instant replay. Fast-flowing flash floods down crops and farmland; this wretched weather's getting out of hand. Then, a shy, sullied sun shines, clouds disband, and suddenly, sweet silence sounds so grand.
