storm clouds

look up in the sky
it's a bird, no it's a pain
a storm cloud overshadows
as i am drenched with rain

it follows me everywhere
no matter where i be
from the towering city of new york
to honolulu by the sea

when at home and when afar
it never ceases to appear
as everywhere i seem to go
those clouds overhead i fear

what have i done to deserve such clouds?
why do you follow me each day?
what must i do to repent?
what indulgences must i pay?

i want to clear my sky overhead
to enjoy such clear, blue skies
as i will exhaust all options
every opportunity i will try

one day i hope that when i look up
that cloud will no longer appear
to allow for brighter days ahead
that i know are awfully near

until that day, companions be aware
on you my clouds may invade
as on your sunny days ahead
my storm clouds may come your way
