The cloud I am
It is as if I am a cloud, light and fluffy
Sometimes I turn grey, thick and stuffy
As the cloud I am, I keep it inside
It is said when I let loose, I’ve committed a homicide
Disappointingly enough, sometimes I rain
It is the bandages, not enough, to cover my pain
The cloud that I am, you want clear skies
Yet I struggle to be of your standards, hide my cries
As the cloud I am, I’m often left unattended
Though when the storm comes, It is my turn to fight, alone and defending.
As I watch the sunset and watch the sunrise,
Shining brightly on me, can’t help but smile, I look on sorrowly, knowing it is nothing but lies
I wish I could feel happy, a new day is born
Pleased in your face, yet my heart aches in a state of forlorn
My best as I try…
…hoping to blind you by
Rainbows and fluff
Why, oh why, am I never good enough?
