Eyes
The rain is following down the window
The air is still the wind does not blow
The clouds begin to get darker each day
Almost as if they are here to stay
You think I am talking about the skies
When truthfully I am talking about my eyes
Eyes- Jaelen Johnston 5-28-21

Suggestion: Don't explain the metaphor, let the reader figure it out.
If you make the last two lines about you, the reader will understand the mataphor
Maybe something like this:
i can't even crack a crooked smile,
gloom sprinkles daily, keeps me in exile.
This is only an example, though you can use it if you wish.
write your own feelings.
And remember to paint a picture with your words not tell.
also you mention the same thing twice...
if the air is still, then of course the wind is not blowing. And vice-versa.
if the wind is not blowing, then of course the air is still.
This is a commen mistake that many poets make.
It's called "Tautology"
I hope some of this helps your poem to become even better.
