Clouds
<p>A school day; </p><p> Alone… but not lonely. </p><p>Nothing but a bubble friend, </p><p>A topic of fake-faced gossip. </p><p>Bullied? Maybe. </p><p>But not sure. </p><p>All I know is— </p><p>The moment we get together, </p><p>I’m left by myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>So what did I do? </p><p>Why wasn’t I lonely?</p><p><br/></p><p>I looked up. </p><p>And saw nothing but clouds. </p><p>Yet somehow… I felt comforted. </p><p>All my worries—washed away. </p><p>Even without the rain.</p><p><br/></p><p>I looked at them every day. </p><p>Because they made me smile. </p><p>Stormy or soft, </p><p>Painted or plain, </p><p>They were always pretty to me. </p><p>Always peaceful. </p><p>Always mine.</p><p><br/></p><p>Someone once said they loved the stars. </p><p>But I learned to prefer the clouds. </p><p>Never told anyone. </p><p>No reason to. </p><p>It was my own comfort. </p><p>My own friend. </p><p>My own special Someone.</p><p><br/></p><p>People would find me weird. </p><p>Or look at me with pity. </p><p>So I kept it to myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yes, the stars are beautiful— </p><p>Pretty as diamonds. </p><p>But they didn’t comfort me. </p><p>They didn’t blow wind to dry my tears </p><p>So no one could see.</p><p><br/></p><p>People look at the sky </p><p>To take pictures, </p><p>To adore the rays of light. </p><p>But I look at it </p><p>To know that even when it doesn’t glow, </p><p>It’s still there,</p><p>and still as beautiful as always.</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe… </p><p>Maybe it wasn’t just the clouds. </p><p>Maybe it was something more. </p><p>Someone more.</p><p><br/></p><p>Even though I never really looked at You then, </p><p>Maybe You were always looking at me. </p><p>And that thought— </p><p>That thought makes me smile.</p><p><br/></p><p>So now, </p><p>Whenever I feel like I need to talk to someone, </p><p>I talk to the clouds. </p><p>The clouds that comfort me. </p><p>That remind me not to lose hope. </p><p>To try again. </p><p>To smile again.</p><p><br/></p><p>They taught me to love. </p><p>And made me look okay,</p><p>Even though I’d just finished </p><p>Bawling my eyes out.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because they were always there,</p><p>Watching,</p><p>And Listening.</p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Lord… I talk to you.</strong></em></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
