Popcorn

it has been raining for two days.

i wonder when it will end

this grand deluge

or perhaps it is the end?

I'm a poet, dreamer, fighter, runaway princess

In the body of a terrified girl growing into womanhood

And most of the time I hate it here

Trapped inside a glass box

I don't believe in good luck or a higher power

This is what it's like when there's news of any large storm, tropical storm, or hurricane near the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, Hurricane Beryl is expected to hit Texas today.

I am tired. 

If I have to come up with one more answer, I might never speak again.

If only I could relax,

taste the salt of the sea and the warmth of the sun against my neck
