Children Born From Gloom

I can always tell when I am feeling down Not because of the grey clouds looming over me Not because of the weights pressed onto my spine Not because of the tears welling in my eyes I can always tell when I am feeling down Because I push and push And give birth to the most creative parts of myself I scratch poetry into paper I sing until my voice flows out of my throat I dance until my feet ache and my heart gives out I scribble charcoal and ink onto the pad It is the only comforting part of feeling this way; I know that all I am doing is beautiful, Even when I don't know if I am the same.
