Cloudy Skies

I wander alone by myself
Feeling the rain draining my health
Each step I take, the slower I get
How fast I want to run I cannot forget
I feel like it's catching up and taking me down
Not till long I hear some sounds
Hoping the rain won't drown me out
Waiting for the clouds to fade
As I find myself a quiet shade
I rest in ease amongst my thoughts
Keeping my breath low as I try to see
How dull and out of life were the color of leaves
I see how worn out and hurt they are
Each of them leaving a mark
I sigh to see the pained remains
Yet the tree stands to this day
Keeping me close and warm
Not feeling so alone
Despite the pain it still stands
Bearing each mark no matter the chance
The history of people who sat in this very place
Remains the same till today
And I see how things have changed
Yet they share the very same ways
I smile to see the sky has cleared
The sun shines ever so near
I take my leave and wave goodbye
Knowing I can make it no matter how hard I try
Through the storm and cloudy nights
I will keep my guard and be alright
Knowing that I have only one life to live
I keep my calm and my love to give
