Almost like a hailstorm, the rain strikes down hard on my skin. All I can hear is the echoed pounds of droplets as they hit a surface. The sound is so magnified that my ears start to hurt. I could almost feel my ears bleed as the patter pounds heavily on my ear drum. I cannot understand what message i’m suppose to decipher because I don’t know how. I start to cry because i’m confused; the noise is confusing. The constant noise of patter confuses me with how everything shares this same haunting sound. I shut my ears hard with my fingers but the vibrations of sounds waves penetrates my skin. I shout out loud but my voice too sounds identical to the noise. I pull hard, ripping my ears for sound will do no good. Sound would only taint me with it’s constant drumming. The pounding reduces but I do not stop because I know it’ll be back.
As I blink a droplet that splattered on my face, all I could hear was the soft pounding within. A subtle lub dub which rhythm runs smoothly like a lullaby. In a distance, the rain continues to form a symphony & I walked on.
