They consistently hit me
Black Jacket, camouflaged with the black night
I walk slowly

Insignificant drizzle,
No umbrella needed, I’m Alright
I walk slowly

The Rhythm speeds up
My movements persuaded
And yet, I walk slowly

Engulfed
My movements piloted
Struggling does not cross my mind

I’m awaken by a woman with bandaged feet and drenched clothes
I notice two kids Sleeping, grasping me by my side

Beginning to get up I realize, My clothes are drenched, yet the children remain dry

Actually my first poem, I put a lot of thought into it and it actually has a pretty deep meaning. it shouldn't be that hard to figure out but if anything send me a message and i'll be glad to clarify
