Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

The rain runs down here cheeks onto the pages until she can't read the words; but it's not the smudge from the rain,
it's the blur of her mind.
The whole world is spinning out of motion and she is still turning the pages. Society is destroying us, we don't see the tears through the rain or the struggle I'm her eyes,
just a girl sitting in the rain.
