Cloudy Skies With a Drizzle of Trear

Skies are overcast with grey clouds.
Precipitation expected around nightfall.
Thunderstorms anticipated before dawn,
With next week expected to be gloomy.

My life is much like the weather,
Only heavy precipitation expected,
Through the end of this month.
With no forecast of the future.

Only dawn will know what clouds will appear,
Over my head with moisture in the air.
The rivers that have overflowed,
From tears running down my cheeks,
Could put out the fires in Hell.
