Analysis of Alone
An ant slowly walks through the rain
With nowhere to go and nothing to do
The rain pitter-pattering on the sidewalk,
The ant speeds up trying to outrun the rain.
Scared the raindrop would fall upon him
And he would have to carry the weight of the raindrop
Until it just became too much…
