Analysis of Submissive Rains
The rain
Washes away
What she once was
And creates
A new slate
For whom she
Truly is...
Submitting to the floodwaters
Washing over her
Just as her emotions
Free her from the captivity
Of hiding herself from
That which some say is taboo
That she says is the sweetest sins.
