"Drip Drip Drop," — Summary

The dampness of the rain, Gives off such a wonderful smell. It brings the girl such bliss, As she sits in the window, Watching traffic go by. It's like her feelings are reflected In the Ohio weather. Sometimes happy, but rainy most days, Bipolar. She thinks, "drip drip drop," As the slow, yet calming rain falls.

A girl sits at a window watching traffic pass while rain falls outside, and the poem follows her quiet reaction. She loves the smell of damp air, and it fills her with bliss. The speaker then makes a comparison: her feelings are like the weather in Ohio, sometimes happy but rainy most days. The single word "Bipolar" sits alone on its line, which makes it land with weight, as if it names something she lives with rather than a passing mood.

What stands out is that the rain isn't treated as sad or threatening. It is "slow, yet calming," and the girl finds comfort in it. Her gloomy days and the gray sky seem to match, so the weather feels like company rather than something to escape. The repeated "drip drip drop" at the end works like a lullaby, a small sound she thinks to herself. The mood is gentle, reflective and peaceful, with a thread of sadness running underneath.

So Badly

I want to do it so badly; The one thing I've promise not to do. The thing people hate me most for. The thing nobody notices I do.
