Like the Weather


Today, I feel like the weather
Or is it the weather, that feels like I?
Gloomy clouds and raindrops
Saddened by the non appearance of the sun
It has not come out
Instead the dirt filled clouds overwhelm the sky
and all I can hear is dripping nearby
Gray rays come crackling through spaces the drapes don't cover
Seeps in reminding of the feelings within
I keep my eyes closed, pretending not to see
But I can't close my ears
all I hear is the dripping of the saddened weather
the saddened weather, just like me


I wonder if things will ever be right
will they be stable?
For once without a storm leaking inside my home
corrupting good nature and messing with my morals
my character, my misfortune, my values of self
are all put to shame
I have no name
I've used too many
moved many places
seen too many new faces
and never grew upon one
my work is done
and now look what I've become
the weather
the rainy, unpleasant weather
is what I have become

  1. Superb work, Natalie. Evocative and tactile. Really makes the reader feel something. And we've all had those days. Makes us feel less alone.
