Sound of Thunder

Sound of Thunder My pain is real I cannot control my emotions I walk in a haze when I feel that dark days are ahead of me I would like to run away but my fear is like a storm fed by memories that crash like thunder stopping me in my tracks My past haunts me I am unable to forget forever lost in time Even my shadow shrinks and disappears I've always been a target never holding the revolver Bruised and beaten my expectations were always shot down in cold blood Tonight I wish I had the same liberty of youth Then the silence wouldn't matter and I could live like there is always a tomorrow I am that timid woman standing by the river surrounded by darkness I need to test the waters and plunge in Terry. 10/9/2016
