Through Their Eyes 8-7-16

Droplets fall on the window Drip down the clear surface The rain keeps falling Pounding on the earth Lightning brightens the sky the thunder claps As the clouds cry out my name The storm screams my fears And I start to break inside Trying to remember how to breathe Trembling at every sound Shaking at every thought There are monsters under my bed Monsters in my head Demons that call for my blood Demons that chant my death like a clock I whisper, the storm is free As I let the last lightning strike I fall to the ground Not trying to stop the rain Letting it fall freely My storm of a soul Will now finally be free Where the rain will not run out And the lightning will not be feared Where the clouds will not cry for help And the storm will not scream its fears My lips are encased with fear And my voice is hoarse and trembling But I whisper,goodbye, the final time Then I quietly jump out the window Land on my storm And float away leaving a Rainbow in its place
