Forcast: (Un)changeable

Cloudless horizons
Cast shadows of doubt,
The future is brewing; 
No escape route out.

Murky, addled minds
That knows no sense;
Opinions left idle,
Lingering on the fence.

Shady recollections
Of secrets well kept,
Meticulously concealed;
Persistently swept.

Cascades of despair
Pour down on poor souls;
Drenched by ambition
Of unreachable goals.

Sweet, sunny sentiments
Are salvaged in vain;
These anchors in chaos
Are tethered to pain.

Stormy grey horizons
Cast shadows of dread;
The future’s unchangeable
So just ignore it instead.
