Tattered skin outside to gain
Unleashing toxins by the rain
Washing over, cleansing skin
Warming, healing myself within

Eyes wide open, watching, staring
Inside the rain; outside I'm daring
Within I'm tightened; Outside I'm strained
The rain pours down me, what I've became

A glint of relaxing
A hint of relief
A tint of gray
in my disbelief

Sticken down by lightening's might
I lay, shocked smile, with my body's ignite
I tremble, convulsions rage through my skin
Inside and out, so tattered I've been
