If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten


Be still.
Let the sound of the rain drown out the sound of the slap you got from your father

Be still.
Let the feeling of the rain soothe the burning carpet rash you got from being dragged

Be still.
Let the sight of the rain replace the sight of the sliver of light from the closet you and your mom were hiding in

Be still.
Let the taste of the rain wash out the taste of gasoline poured on you in the bath tub after you "forgot to clear the table"

Be still.
Let the smell of the rain on the asphalt interchange the smell f his burning tires leaving for good.
