Ms. Santarpia, Lawrence Road Middle School Downpour It’s just a passing downpour It’s how I feel After I met you I haven’t lost the happy memories to the rain When the rain stops Let’s meet again We will smile and be together Will it stop now? These raindrops, these tears? I don’t want to get wet in the rain And tremble with the cold Some day, the cold rain Will become warm tears And fall down, it’s alright It’s just passing downpour I’m getting all wet right now I don’t even have the strength to open an umbrella Let me just cry for a moment As I lean on the So you won’t see my sad tears But it’s okay The sun will come It’s just passing downpour

I feel anxious when I’m out in public Cotton candy for clouds that fill the air I touch the beautiful flowers and remember how nice it is My imagination could take me anywhere I worry too much about the world and not myself I cry thinking of the many people who are hurting Sunflowers and roses, aromas so sweet I am determined to make the most out of these hard times With celebrities walking in velvet I understand I can’t see my friends Everything I want is here in a heartbeat I say to myself it’s going to get better, don’t worry This is my story, so why not tell it? I dream to be able to walk around without being scared I miss the feeling of the sun hitting my face on a sunny day I try to focus on myself I hope covid-19 goes away soon I am going to stay calm
