When the Rain Stops

how will i feel 
when the rain stops
what will change 
where will i be
depression over rides 
my feelings real
gray skies in my head
over come the dread 
can't seem to put it 
together , for whatever 
it is worth, i am stuck
in this constant mud slide 
of total fear, of being 
swept away in the raging 
waters of emotions
bouncing off debris of worry 
slurry of mixed thoughts
need a break in this storm
something positive a focus
winds blowing life away
blurred by past regrets
hindered by the what ifs in life  
need a new beginning
a want of something 
a feel of a real scene
just want to sleep now 
end the weather in my mind
repeating over and over
"tomorrows forecast rain 
with winds at 45 miles 
an hour , the burnt areas will 
be on mud slide watch"
