Rain

I hear rain beating on the roof,
while I sit alone, inside myself.
Everything I've done in life
has been wrong.
Every move, every decision;
the wrong one.
But as I sit and hear the rain,
now beating harder,
I feel less in solitude.
I feel less afraid.
The sound of the rain above me
makes me feel safe and warm.
The layer of roof over my head
is protecting me from the wet and cold.
I will not drown.

Rain is my safety.
