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
