Rise Above (sonnet)

Clouds threaten as the darkness fills the sky,
And raindrops fall like feathers on the wind.
I fight to hold back tears, but don't know why
The sadness overtakes me once again.
My future's looking bright, and so I know
I should be filled with joy with each new day.
I can't forget the pain that plagues me so;
Why can't the stupid mem'ries go away?
I try to see the sunlight through the rain,
The pot of gold at ev'ry rainbow's end,
But still I'm left to wonder once again
If loneliness will always be my friend.
One day I know I'll rise above this mess,
If I rejoice more and remember less.
