Little Dark Cloud
Oh, Little Dark Cloud,
Please go away, I’ll have the strength for you Tomorrow.
If you only blew away I’d know,
I’d know I’d be all right.
But you’re here.
I wonder, is there still Tomorrow?
Why, oh why, do you keep coming back again?
Why do you stay?
I thought I pushed you away till Tomorrow?
Why, oh why, must I do this thing and that?
I swear, I’ll have much better energy Tomorrow!
Now, I know:
Warm Light can hide my Misery,
But yes, I know you’re still there,
And I’ll be waiting there with open arms Tomorrow.
Yes, I think I’ll somehow find the strength Tomorrow.

Lauren Nagy, Editor
Lauren is a senior at Freehold High School, eager to be entering her third year as a writer for The Colonial's literary magazine and her second year as an editor. An avid reader, she is also a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys knitting when she can find the time. Despite her place in the Medical Sciences program, she foresees a career in neither medicine nor science - and would rather study English, creative writing, and music in college. If she wrote a novel that one day became a widely beloved classic, that would be pretty nice too.
