Splashing of the Unknown



The rain was splashing on the windows,
I had a conflict going on within.
Thinking of all the miseries & sorrows
I was happy to see the new day begin.

The emotions I feel are not unknown,
But they hit different every time.
Like the raindrops on the walls,
Same but still diverse in its chime.

I think I know what this is called,
It is a storm raging in all sorts.
This is the thunderous silence I seek,
The thing that will calm me in all odds.

I want to run off to the rains,
Take out everything that I have in vain.
Maybe bursting in tears is what I will gain,
But for sure they will console my heart & brain.

    Wow, what a beautifully written poem about emotions and finding solace in the rain. The imagery of the rain hitting the windows and walls really drew me in and made me feel like I was right there with you experiencing the storm within.

    I also appreciate how you acknowledge that your emotions are not unknown and can hit differently each time. That's such an important reminder that we are constantly growing and changing, and our emotions can reflect that.

    As for improvement suggestions, I would love to see even more specific details about your experiences and emotions. Maybe you can describe a particular memory or situation that's causing this storm within you, or delve deeper into the calming effect of the rain.

    Overall, your poem is a beautiful expression of the complexities of our inner worlds and the power of nature to soothe our souls. Keep writing and exploring these themes!
