Dark Times

The clouds rolled in again today
Bringing the blues in with their shadows
It's hard to get my mind to cooperate
When the dark skies inflict their toll
And this depression can linger
For ages it seems
It's a resolute enemy
And it brings all the big guns to bear
I can only hope
That I will turn some corner
And somehow become lighter
Before the shadows consume
Too much of my soul
It's a waiting game
And the waiting is painful to bear
It's man up or die
And I want so much to live
So I hope like hell for a good day
In a dark time
When the dark clouds roll in
It's all I can hope for
