Storm~cloud Poem by Nika McGuin
Storm~cloud
What do you do
when fresh air isn't as fresh
and everything outside seems to
remind you of the one you lost
And what do you do
when music just makes it worse
you thought it would lift the mood
but instead it highlights your unhappiness
I don't know what to do, honestly
on days like this something weighs on me
like an over-packed suitcase, too heavy to board
my bad mood follows me around
a dark storm cloud raining just for me
for all of my attempts to run away
it has refused to let me be free
⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛⌛
realizing there is no escape route
from my own feelings, I stop
and arms folded, eyes closed
let everything
rain down on me
This really gets to me, Nika. I've just lost my little cat and I feel exactly as you describe with your true depth of feelings. This is a very fine poem and I'm going to put it in my favourites.
wow you managed to describe exactly how i have been feeling for the past 3 days. I loved it!
There is no escape from our feelings accept to bear them in quiet endurance. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem

I STOP / AND... / LET EVERYTHING / RAIN DOWN ON ME. This is a poem about life's persistent hardships but there is no negative emotion you add to the burden so you are uniquely f-r-e-e. Letting things rain down on you is not a defeat or a surrender. You are giving negativity free rein to spend itself and simply - vanish. It takes courage and inner strength to do that. So the upshot of this is that you know you are equal to the world's challenge. WOW that's a victory of knowing the truth.
