this is clearly about a troubled boy who has yet to become a man but is
faced with the all the responsibilities of being a man. maybe even more
responsibilities than most of us will ever face. he has already turned to
pot to escape the storm mentioned at the end (which is not the rain by the
way) and is now pondering killing himself to escape it. it is perhaps the
one of the most depressing poems i've ever read.
