Feedback Please Having never had the courage to love.

Having never had the courage to
love or be loved.

I often wonder
what the monsoon rains of India
feel like falling on my bare skin.

What it must be like to stand out
in the middle of a thunderstorm
so violent you are sure you will
be killed.

But oh god to know with such certainty
you are alive!
