Mental Storms

1) MENTAL STORMS  
I am not a poet 
I have never claim to be  
I only write down my feelings
Because it helps me mentally 
It was kept a secret for years 
never for others to see 
A personal world 
Where I keep my memory's 
Focusing so hard 
It's like I'm eating them on TV 

dealing with the loss of a love one 
Can come in all shapes and all forms

I just personally found writing to be 
The way 

That helps tackle my personal mental storms 

You see when the storm peaks full force 
it's has no remorse 
It transfers lightning bolts of pain shattering strain electrifying the vains as it travels besides the bloods course 
Then the pain inflames the brain 
as it test the human frame 
to see if you can regain 
the inner strength to remain 
strong enough to maintain 
as you cope with the constant strain of handling one of life's cruelest games 
So I don't care if my English is not the correct grammar 
That really isn't my concern 
The fact is I'm actually thick as  when it comes to understanding all the proper punctuational terms 
I don't write down my feeling for anyone to grade 
I don't write them down for attention or praise 
I don't care for the spelling mistakes or the ink stained tears that phase the page 
Cause when I'm writing 
half the time my hand barley keeps up pace 
Often the tears flow blocking my vision as I scribble down words like an emotional race 
But like any storm 
They always pass through 
Some are worse then others 
But eventually the sky returns blue 
As the sun comes out from behind its covers
So as the wind howls hard 
the rain beaut down 
It's a case of if you want to survive the mental storm 
Or admit defeat and drown in your frown
