Clouds

I hold my head, and cover my ears Feel the heat, and feel the tears I don't want to cry but I feel so helpless there are no clouds in the sky No where to hide no where to go No place to reside no time to know I could fail or even worse I could suceed but my hope is stale moldy and deserted So I feel no need A week, and I should be fine these ripples fade over time but I have no one to guide me Is there anything of value to even see? No one to hold me No one to touch me no one to hurt me no one to touch me I know people have it worse that they are stronger than I but can they really not see that there are no clouds in the sky I have no honor, I have no pride I walk alone, but with a confident stride I don't let anyone see I can't let anyone near me I feel pity and more than I should for those worse off if I could tell you, I would but I act tough and a pariah No one is there any longer so I find no need to cry The clouds are all gone and all that's left is a blackened sky No stars, no moon and the rest will see all too soon No one is here Nothing to fear No clouds in the sky No tears to cry
