This is a poem about depression, but also about how a gloomy day makes it worse.
Dreary sky that dampens spirits
Hides the sun beneath the darkness
Roaring clouds come to threaten
Chasing away the brightness

Enveloping joy in a blanket
Of gloom, despair, and sadness
Heavy clouds ready to burst
To spill their sorrow

Memories that were long forgotten
Buried deep beneath the surface
Creep upon me, fast and violent
Bearing their ugly head

Smiles that shift to frowns
The storm sits still, waiting
Engulfing me in fear and anguish
Depression, a lifeless feeling
