Lost Girl & A Black Cloud Poem by Nicole Barbour

I live a life worrying when the littlest things go wrong,
will that black cloud come along?
Creeping over my shoulder,
I look behind in fear, little black cloud are you near?
That little black cloud, used to follow me around,
little black cloud, are you gone for now?

But when it gets tough, i feel my strength isnt enough..
I cant run, i cant hide.. Its always there.. inside.
Will i keep it away? on that unfortunate rainy day?
Or will the pain i suffered reface?

I look in the mirror, i see the fear,
I see the pain i once overcame.
In my eyes, it cannot hide, the reflection of my life hiding behind.

i live my life with that constant weight, wondering if one day it will be retraced?
The footsteps of my past,
Little black cloud, will you have the last laugh?

Many times appeared, many times lost..
and all im left with is that thought?
Is it really gone? im left destraught..
a little girl, in a big world.
Alone, no thought but lost.. no thought but lost.

Just one little girl, in one big world, waiting for that little black cloud.
