The rain pours like buckets on his head.
Everything is dark, not a glimpse of hope in sight.
He keeps his head down and closes his eyes tightly.

Every day, he goes through the same motions.
A cloud hovers over him and spits at him unexpectedly.
People pass by and poke the cloud.
Some push it, some try and blow it away, some simply stare at it.

Nothing ever seems to help him.
No music can lift his mood.
No video can crack a smile.
No joke can even seem the least bit funny.

Life seems pointless, walking under the cloud all day.
All he looks forward to is the end.
What if the end could come closer?

Just when he knows it can't get any worse, a flicker of light flashes in front of his eyes.
The sun peeks out from around the clouds.
It instantly provides warmth to his body.

All of the pain and pity dries up.
All of the sorrow and suffer melts in a puddle on the floor.
All of the fear and forlorn runs away.

Nothing can withstand the power of an influence.
Neither wall nor obstacle could keep that sun from shining.

That sun is the only thing keeping him faithful.
That sun is the only thing worth living for.

And as long as that sun keeps shining, everything will be okay.
