Storm

caught in summer storm
damp hair curls on neck
feet squish inside shoes
skirt billows in gusty wind –
tears masquerade as rain

Must be a rainy, gloomy day in Boston too! I sense every sense your poem exudes so clearly. ❤

Ugh! Depression. I wish it never existed, never came to visit.

  It is such a scourge on far too many people. And a disease that needs to be recognized and destigmatized.

“tears masquerade as rain” ~> I love this line, so simple, but it evokes so much emotion and so many images.
