You say my name is rain
Coursing down from the sky's above
Framing your face
Ever elegant
You say my name is wind
Screaming along as I run
From my lungs
Explodes the music of the trees
You say my soul is beauty
And my face is reflection
You say my future is peaceful
And my past is you
Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.
This poem is supposed to be about someone close to me. I wrote it to try to process my anger towards them, and how they always seemed to take anything I said and turn it into something about them. I felt like I was only existing to be a reflection of them. But as I was writing it, I found a sort of haunting beauty. Not to be egotistical and say that I wrote a hauntingly beautiful poem. That's not what I mean.
What i'm trying to say, is that love and hate aren't opposites. Emotion is. beautiful, no matter what it is. There is a beauty in pain.
Please explain your writing and thought process regarding this poem.
I felt a sort of detachment, while writing this poem. To say that is kind of got away from me would be an understatement. Its the kind of thing that I write, and then have to take a step back from, so I can figure out the meaning of what I just created.
Why did you choose to write this poem?
This poem was therapeutic in the way that I just sat down and wrote it. I didn't think, I just took a deep breath, and let my emotions bleed out of the cracks in my smile.
