Poem
The sky formed gray clouds bursting into loud noises that I could not explain, the only thing that did make sense is that I was alone I felt afraid. A flash of lighting warning me, yet at the same time making me nervous about what was yet to come. I had circled my future in my mind perfectly, I thought I knew until the storms brewed and they emptied my head of common sense. It made me feel trapped some how under a nights sky waiting to be destroyed by that one sound that made my whole body reminisce of my fear. like I was the mouse afraid to be stepped on by an elephant. I'd close my eyes and cover my ears just to help this fear I had. A little baby rapped under sheets so tight, Mother wasn't there to hold me but i'd learned to hold myself. Praying that the nightmare would end, But little did I know it was only the beginning. Summer skies nice and blue brought stormy nights filled with danger and ruin. Why couldn't I just get over this one tiny fear? I wouldn't travel to Mexico because the storms are too severe... I would always wake up afraid looking out my window just to make sure. Make sure that there was no gray in sight but then again blue skies could also be deceiving. It wasn't until I heard only rain, That calmed me down that lessened my pain. I could walk and talk and pretend it never happened but storms do come and when they do I tremble in fear my knees get weak and I sigh another day another fear.
