There was no Silver Lining, Only Black and Blue

I was brought here upon a cloud of unfairness

a cloud which I tried to undo

with hammer and pickaxe I toiled away,

but then I fell through

Into a sea of despair

which the cloud had brought down

in torrents and waves

it forced me to drown

I was still, and unbreathing

Like a dead person should be

emotionless and unfeeling

thats how they described me

Notes

This was done a few years ago, I don't quite remember when I wrote it,

but it was a time when I was feeling down and had the rare impulse to

let it out creatively.
