The poem expresses the feelings of someone who received harsh criticism that made them feel like their future was meaningless and broke their heart. Despite putting in effort, the criticism did not inspire them to be their best but instead gave "burns of foolish integrity." However, the person realizes that while they may not be what was wanted, they are proud of who they have become and that difficulties, like rain, are necessary to create something beautiful like a rainbow.
