Black Cloud
The black cloud,
It screamed so loud.
It yelled,
“Come hither from which you are held!”
The beast,
It should have scared me the least.
I ran out to face it,
I decided to chase it.
It engulfed me with the tight hold,
But I never forgot what I was told.
“You must speak loud,
To the black cloud.
Ask the name,
Beware it will maime.”
The frigid darkness surround me,
All I could do was try to flee.
I said,
“Black cloud with the weary head,
What is thy name?
I do not wish to play games.”
The cloud replied,
“You should have died!
My name is Depression,
I’ve hope you have learned your lesson.”
I was whipped around,
Then thrown on the cold hard ground.
I then awoke in bed,
With the worst pain in my head.
I looked at the sky,
And wondered why.
I let out a moan,
There was one black cloud all alone.
