The Weather Inside

05/07/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



Ever feel like there’s a tiny cloud

That hovers over your head

And follows you wherever you go?

Yeah. Me, too.



Sometimes it’s a wispy white cloud

Casting cheerful shadows

On bright sunny days

That fill my heart with joy.



On other days it’s darker,

Grey and foreboding,

Casting doubt and uncertainty

No matter the weather outside.



Then there are those days

When storm clouds rage

Rain, thunder, lightning, oh my!

And you are cast into despair.



On days such as those

I’d really just like to have

A tiny umbrella and maybe a raincoat

To protect my waterlogged self.



But the worst days come, I feel,

When there’s no clouds at all

But your pockets are full of hail

From a multitude of yesterdays.



When you can see the sunshine

But can’t feel its warmth

And you’re shivering alone in your house,

Screams lost on the passing breeze.
