The days when it's cloudy
when the sky is dark
and the wind blows around
They seem to promise rain
Today it never rained.
This is what anxiety is like
A daily promise of rain
but it doesn't always fall.
You spend all your time
carrying an umbrella.
The umbrella gets heavier
every moment.
You never get to use it
because you lose the strength
to hold it up.
-J.M.
