forecast calls for rain.
i admire the rain.
it lets out what is bottled,
and lets the earth soak in its feelings,
comprehending the importance of the smell
of acceptance and understanding that's left
in its soil,
in ways i could never do with myself.
This piece acknowledges the growth I still have to do within myself in terms of allowing myself to simply feel the emotions I am experiencing instead of always trying to understand why I'm feeling this way and over analyzing my own thoughts.
