Within this fragile body I reside, A tempest brews in the chambers of my heart, Thunder echoes, pulsating with primal force, An untamed rhythm of passion and fervor, It reverberates through my very being, A symphony of chaos and intensity. Look into my eyes, and you shall witness, A kaleidoscope of emotions, vibrant and fierce, Lightning dances in their depths, Illuminating the darkness within, An electric current surges, unyielding, Igniting the pathways of my soul.

Do not shy away from the storm I carry, Embrace the chaos and the unpredictability, For within this maelstrom lies my truth, A raw authenticity, unadulterated and real, Keep peeling away my layers, my dear, But accept me as I truly am, With all the thunder in my heart, And the lightning in my eyes. …
