Silent Storm

A single drop lands Alerting you that something is coming The sting surprises you A silent storm is coming The sky darkens; your entire body feels this The frustration builds as more drops fall The frustration turns to helplessness It surrounds you, the cold seeps into your bones It is coming The clouds are black, the wind is swirling Churning your stomach Making you weak Not another storm, not now, not again As the feelings well up inside You sense the turbulence down to your core You feel the rumbling in your soul The darkness is enveloping you Anger is now setting in This storm is going to rage Take cover? There is no cover for a silent storm in one’s mind Only frustration, helplessness and anger Claps of thunder, the pain Flashes, lighting the sky Lighting the corners of your mind Only hope and faith will clear the path Until then, we fight the silent storm Emotions versus the spirit This is a battle your soul must win
