When it rains

 It's raining. 

RM was right, when it rains everything gets slow. 

When it rains, I can hear my thoughts.

When it rains, nobody can hear my screams.

When it rains, nobody can see my tears.

When it rains, everything pauses.

Rain allows excuses.

To be late.

To skip class.

To be lazy.

Rain is good to me.

Like a friend, RM said.

I feel comforted by its embrace. 

When it rains, I can stop.

When it rains, Like I can sleep.
