Overcast skies bring me down
I need my fix of sunshine
to get me through the day
otherwise my blood is like molasses
and nothing courses through my veins

my mood always in direct relation
to my sunshine exposure
it's high when sunny
blue when it’s not

i hate to be so dependent
when i should have control
but there’s not much i can do
besides what's plainly obvious

in the meantime like a cat
i pounce on sunny days
go outdoors soak in the sun
recharge revitalize renew

I'm almost exactly the same way... As the sun goes, so do I. :) gw
