"Tropical Depression"

The storm is raging outside;
The sadness is winning inside.

Thunder crashes into signals;
Lightning flashes in flares;
Rain gently cools the earth.

Memories are acting like Pringles;
I just can’t stop with a singe taste.
The confusion from stress and anger
Creates a cry that simply blares
Out into the loneliness, that not even mirth
Can drown out-because of the overwhelming sadness.

Holding back the tears is tough;
Controlling the angry storm is more rough.
