Fear Storm
Fear is looming like a gathered storm
Running for shelter
My rain coat is tattered and torn
Running as I try to hide under a huge tree
The lightning strikes
I can’t hide from fear; it’s here for me to see
Like a big bully on a rainy playground day
Trembling, if I close my eyes
Maybe the storm will just blow away
It always seems to hover over my weary head
No water drops,
Just cold hard hail falling instead
Striking my head over and over again
I try to use my hands to protect it
Now the blood flows in scarlet red
Flowing from my hands dripping down to the ground
Fear flows deep into the loose sand
As the bright sunlight appears and try’s to surround
Feeling the warmth the fear finally disappears
Bringing on comfort and peace
Hopefully to follow me throughout the coming years
