October rain falls outside my window. Do you need October again? it seems redundant
I dare it. The period seems odd perhaps follow the line through with drown me and then break
Drown me. I live on the third story.
I go outside. Consider bringing in some images, something more for the reader to engage with. I live, I go outside is quite bland.
I splash in a puddle. like the contrast here but again the image could work harder.
