abuseI like your use of imagery and metaphor. The last line was especially powerful, especially how it fit with the third stanza. Actually, the last three lines were just amazing. I think you could have done something different with the first line - I don't have a problem with cursing, but it didn't seem necessary. I got the feeling you were trying to construct a tense mood, but another word could have been more effective.

abusei love the concept of the rain pounding on one's dreams.

the imagery and word choice in the second stanza is wonderful at evoking a very dark, tense feeling.

"to quell the fear, i conceive poems in my mind."
i like this line, the idea of trying to use words to quell fear. very helpless and it creates a good feeling of this-is-all-i-can-do.

the last line ends it with a bang.

in conclusion,
great poem.

abuseI love the way you structured the verses in a series of incompletes. This poem also created a very specific mood, which I thought was good considering it's length.
Nicely done.
