One day the sky is blue,
Happiness all around.
Next day as if on cue,
Dark clouds are to be found.

Dark clouds are my forté
Lived with them all my life.
On me they found a prey,
Causing life one more strife.

And yes the clouds have come,
But unlike yesterday,
They do not make me glum,
I’ve overcome, dark clouds I slay
