The Storm Inside

The Storm Inside The gloomy weather Pouring rains cascading from the sky Dark clouds gathering on the horizon It matches my mood Making me feel safe I am nesting in my cocoon As the storm is brewing I wish to hide in the shadows While the tempest is encapsulating me Wishing the sunlight to disappear Wishing the dark to protect me From the reality that we call existence

"The gloomy weather...matches my mood...making me feel safe." I know this feeling, Alona..."misery loves company" is the old saying and your well-written poem speaks to this very well. Congratulations on your placement in the contest! Hugs, Sandra
