Dark Stormy Cloud (poem)

Dark Stormy Cloud (a poem by Flavia Mangini)

I´m a lonely gray cloud

But I don´t seem to have a silver lining...

Can´t you hear me thunder?

It´s deafening, it´s so damn loud!

This cloud´s crying, though the sun´s shining and everyone´s smiling...

Have you ever felt this broken, this fragile and weak?

Have you ever felt like running away?

When your body is crumbling and your soul is meek?

I guess we all feel like that someday...

Will things ever be all right again?

Will happiness ever come knocking at my door?

Is it a sin to try to change a life that´s so boring and plain?

What have I done to end up crushed on the floor again?

Pain comes pouring down my pen,

Like a storm comes to wash things down from the darkest sky...

Will it ever stop? I don´t know when...

But I keep asking myself the reasons why...

Will it ever ease down? I simply can´t figure out how...
