The Storm Inside

The Storm Inside



The gloomy weather
Pouring rains cascading from the sky
Dark clouds gathering on the horizon

It matches my mood
Making me feel safe

I am nesting in my cocoon
As the storm is brewing
I wish to hide in the shadows
While the tempest is encapsulating me

Wishing the sunlight to disappear
Wishing the dark to protect me
From the reality that we call existence

"The gloomy weather...matches my mood...making me feel safe." I know this feeling, Alona..."misery loves company" is the old saying and your well-written poem speaks to this very well. Congratulations on your placement in the contest! Hugs, Sandra
