Life Poems

Overcast

Overcast
thunder and lightning, it's been raining all night, standing under an umbrella, i am drenched to the bone;
its' been like this for quite sometime, cloudy and overcast, dark clouds lingering in the horizon, threatening to flood the land below;
drawing a parallel, my life has been like this, dark, gloomy and overcast, ready to burst anytime;
i tried to take shelter, i tried to do things that will protect me, i tried and i did, but i could not escape;
stuck, as i am, deeply into it, the dark forces of life seem to be taking control of MY LIFE and pushing me towards the brink;
i tried to run away, but with legs bound by chains, i could not even move an inch;
i tried to close my eyes, but the darkness is even more frightening;
as i wade through the storm, completely drenched and soaked to the bone, the rain keeps falling;
as i watch the sky turn pale and grey and overcast with clouds, darkness slowly sets in from all directions, standing under an umbrella, i sit there, waiting for the light (sunrise), on a world that is getting darker and darker (scarier);
