Dark Cloud

I feel like I'm starting to fall Back into that place again The place that I try to hide from That place I dislike being in I'm not sure of the why, or how I just feel that familiar return Of the dark cloud that comes from nowhere And makes happiness hard to discern It resembles a feeling of grief The heaviness weighs in my heart I dont even know what triggered it Or how to make it depart Healthy coping is my challenge Thoughts and feelings I need to pursue And then I need to remember That the only way out is through So if all I can manage is self-care And the patience to muddle my way This gloomy phase won't last forever And tomorrow's a brand new day May 24, 2020
