30% Chance of Rain

[Justsomedude]

Dancing in a thirty

percent chance of rain;

not just because it

beat the odds,

but because it never

even considered them.

Perhaps, even in

spite of them.

Or maybe to remind

the world that systems

and statistics are

man-made and fallible -

boasting with a

self-righteous tone,

yet still confined

to near fraudulence.

You can tell me

it won't rain,

but you won't

stop it from pouring.

You can tell me

there's no God,

but it won't stop

Him from healing

these festered wounds.

And you can tell me

I'll never walk,

but you won't keep

me from dancing..

I love that this poem made me Google: "Is 30% chance of rain high?" (Note: I'm meteorologically-challenged.)

Haha. It's not as low as twenty and I could've went with twenty or ten, but this was something that actually happened and it happened to be thirty so I went with it, lol.

I didn't actually dance, though, to be honest. Just kind of stood in it and closed my eyes which was awesome. I love the rain. It cools the hot torment of my fearful and frazzled mind sometimes when the time is right and I probably wouldn't survive without that.
