I could never really describe the way

thunderstorms made me feel

It is a strange experience.

At first,

as the wind starts rising

and getting stronger,

I feel it inside me.

Everything growing bigger and building up.

Then the sirens, 

as a warning that soon,

I will explode.

And it begins.

Lightning strikes

and thunder falls

just a few seconds behind.

All in the meanwhile,

giant droplets fill the isolated streets 

that are my skin.

In the end all that is left,

is the petrichor of the rain.
