It’s just a matter of time til it gets better. That’s what I tell myself (because I must) as the rain continues to pour and turn beautiful things to rust.

I wait in the storm, getting wetter. Eventually, it’ll have to run out of rain. Eventually, I’ll get a break from the unrelenting pain.

Written about chronic pain, this one can easily apply to depression or any kind of emotional pain.

More poetry like this (centering around chronic or mental illness) will be available in the collection released in November, which I will have a promo image for very soon with title reveal.
