My rain soaked skin
Fighting with itself
To grip onto the socks
Which in turn are desperately
Maintaining a frantic hold
On the insides of the shoes
My soles find it hard
To find firm footing
Torrential downpour
Attempting to offset every step
Forcing through
The never ending film
Of water that coats my path
As one foot reaches certainty
The other begins
Launching from fleeting comfort
Wishing to once more
Alight upon
The perils of familiarity
An individual journey
They each make
In harmonious bid
For the uphill climb
