Sunshower

Explain why it's rains when the sun is shinning,
The question that came out on my science exam. 
Its an easy question,
Its because sometimes the clouds are too thin, 
Or maybe it's too windy out, 
Which causes the phenomenon Sunshower,
Where the sun shines while it's still raining. 
But I don't get it. 
How can both a warm sun, 
And cold rain go hand in hand? 
How can the sun shine so brightly while it's raining like crazy? 
How can a person smile so angelicly,
While suffering from doubts and depression constantly?
How can a person love and laugh so peacefully, 
When their mind is a total train reck?
How can a person be so kind, 
While being talked and taunted on over and over again?
How can a person still live, 
When they want to die, 
When they no longer want to survive?
How can a person believe that there will be a rainbow, 
A beautiful phenomenon, 
When the sun and rain are opposites of one another? 
How can a person be expected to believe that good things will come eventually, 
When they're going through a crisis, when they're faking a smile, faking being okay,
Just so they can have a sound of mind?
How can a Sunshower make one feel at ease, 
When even the sky knows, 
If there wasn't a rainbow after the rain, 
Everyone would complain.
A Sunshower is just the sky concealing it's hurt and pain with a smile, 
With a seven-coloured rainbow which makes everyone around peaceful and happy. 
A Sunshower, 
Feels so familiar yet so distant,
So warm yet so cold, 
So deep yet so shallow. 
A 'sunshowered' person, 
Sounds just like me. 
One who fakes everything,
Pretending to be okay, 
Erasing the presence of rain with sunshines and rainbow, 
With a sunshower.
