When It Rains It Pours

They say when it rains it pours, but I’m stuck in this never ending storm. Wave after wave of the hail and lightning, pushing me down, I try and I’m fighting. This world is a crushing devastation, covering the problems with major manipulation. They say when it rains it pours, but I feel like I’m drowning. My lungs shrinking, the longer I’m sinking, all of this chaos, no time for thinking. I’m overwhelmed, by the emotional state that I’m in. By the thoughts trapped in my head, I can’t let them in. When it rains it pours.
