Cloud in my head.

Fugue Doodle
Jul 25, 2017 · 1 min read

I had a cloud in my head
Two months too long
It rained all day and night
I shuddered, waiting for it to be gone.

Some nights, I woke up in midst of a storm
Trembling in a puddle of water
My skin soaked to wrinkles
My bones cold and soft
I tried to go back to sleep but in vain
Instead I wrapped my knees, waiting for it to be gone.

I tried running for help
The cloud following me everywhere I went
Tagging along, to every friend
Chasing them away, quiet and glum.
Giving up, I drew circles in the water
As I sat alone, waiting for it be gone.

One Friday morning, I woke up to drink coffee, needless to say, in the showers
Drowsy eyed I dragged myself to the kitchen
Squinted at the sun, through the window
I heard a voice humming to the radio
Feet tapping below
I swayed calmly to the monotune, finally, some warmth in my head!

Fugue Doodle

Ridiculously lost in my head
