PRCA MENA MHW – The cloud a poem – By the person you didn’t really see

You see me laughing, smiling and being loud,

But all I see is a big grey cloud.

It follows me everywhere and just won’t go away,

Waking up is hard, the cloud is here to stay.

The excuses start to form,

‘I can’t make it today, I don’t feel well’

Suddenly this becomes the norm…

You see me laughing, smiling and being loud,

But I just feel trapped underneath this cloud.

Now its darker and getting near,

My mind can’t focus, only fear.

I’m too scared to talk,

‘I don’t want to, it’s just a phase’

Maybe just clear my head with a walk…

You see me laughing, smiling and being loud,

But now I am surrounded by this darker cloud.

Waking up is a struggle to breathe,

Why am I so angry, everything makes me seethe.

My mood has made me lose my best mate

‘nobody will miss me anyway’

Now it’s too late.

Now you don’t see me laughing, smiling and being loud.

I’ve gone and its one-nil to that cloud.
