Being successful takes dedication, a passion, and a little bit of talent.


An ominous, grey sheet

Canvases the sky

Shaking, rumbling, quacking

Attempting to hold back

The heavy rain


He knows his cold, callous droplets

Hurt like bullets

Against a mortal’s skin

But it hurts him

To stretch his soft, wispy skin

among its limits


It explodes

Like a stubborn, strong, stench that steals the room

Like a balloon that was filled with too much air

And the deceitful, dangerous, demonic downpour will touch

The mortals skin he tried

So desperately to save


And to believe

That he was once a blue sky

That was crisp, clean and calm

Before he mopped up heavy rocks

I wrote this one night when I felt like I would explode. I later shared it with my creative writing class.
