feel like rain

it's amazing how much my mood is affected by the weather. spring and summer with all the warmth and sunny things - i'm generally a happy person and love life. fall [with the beginning of school sucking the life out of me] and the general dreariness of winter - totally different story. i'm a MESS. cranky, angry and angsty, depressed and horribly cynical. i can't sleep and the littlest bit of stress hits me like a ton of bricks.

BUT, the weather has been fabulous lately and has really lifted my spirits. and today was all windy and rainy - it just makes me want to write. so writing is what i've been doing. mainly in the form of poetry, since that's the class i'm in. [why not write poems, when i can turn them in for credit too?] i can't wait for real spring weather to come and stay. i can't wait to drive with the windows down. and i can't wait to swing on swings at parks and lay outside on new green grass. i love feeling like a kid again, and spring weather does it best.

'and we feel like rain
when the words all sound the same,
in the lifeless corners of this empty frame.
though we feel let down
by the same old autumn breathing,
winter's curse is just around the bend.
and we feel like rain
when the words all sound the same
as the curtain closes on another day. '
