Notes About The Poem

Happy Rain

There’s millions and billions hitting my skin, 
Attacking my “me” in this war,
And all of them leave me a better person, 
Better than I was before,

Because I laugh, I breathe, I take it all in, 
My hands both reach to the sky,
They each change the guy that I used to be, 
Back, when I was dry,

The noise is pure, relentlessly free, 
The smell and taste and the feel,
All force me to smile and love who I am, 
Force me to know what is real,

I love the rain, I love getting wet, 
I love how it makes me feel whole,
I love getting drenched all over my body, 
By the rain that cleanses my soul.
