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
