The darkness coming at us
  I sat there watching the dark cloud move in
  Not knowing what to write
  The birds were flying away
  Not knowing where to go
  It was moving in dark and fast
  Over the hills and coming at us
  I sat there in the class room watching it
  Not knowing when it would get here
  The trees had started to blow in the wind 
  And no one else seemed to notice the darkness coming at us
  They all just sat there typing away
  Then it lightened up
  It wasn't as dark anymore
  But I knew it wasn’t gone
  Then we heard it
  The thunder cracked
  But the rain did not start
  I knew that it was coming
  The dark cloud was getting closer and closer
  It was like it was waiting for just the moment to jump out at us and start
  The room was filled with an eerie silence
  But I was the only one who seemed to notice
  Why were they all so dead to the world
  No one feels any more
  No one laughs
  No one cries
  No one even knows the difference between happiness and sadness
  It hurts me just to look at the world
  Knowing that no one else sees it the way I do
  They see it as something in our way
  I see it as something that we have and need to respect
  Then the rain starts
  I jump when all of a sudden it was poring down
  I was expecting it to happen but not that fiercely
  It is pounding against the windows
  Hitting the roof like they were in a fight
  No one seems to notice
  Because whatever is on the screen in front of them is much more important
  So I sit there watching the dark could move in
  Not knowing what to write
