Black Cloud

This poem is a metaphor for my life and how I felt for a really long time. It took some real thought to use the right words and rhythm scheme to really portray my true feelings into this poem.

Black Cloud 

Lingering over my head,

Numbing each and every thought.

Feeling so brain dead..

This is what life's taught. 

Whispering in my ear;

These voices I hear.

Conflicting words strung together,

A torment lasting forever. 

Making it past the night

Directly into the light,

Leaving without all the fright 

Conquering through heroic might.

Enduring the rain,

And surviving the pain.

Fighting for our gain,

A moment of surprise came. 

Eyes suddenly become rainbows,

When the tears evaporate..

Your smile becomes the warmth,

Eyes shining like the stars. 

Yet hanging over my head,

This is no halo for angels.

A black cloud pain led,

Burning me slowly like the devils. 

The past never leaves,

Eternally in our way. 

A life that deceives,

Forever in our day.
