The I of the Storm

Cyclonic winds howl between my ears The tornado bouncing off The walls of my decapitated head It’s all spinning with furious speed Hurling feelings as if bricks and bombs Frenzied rage and outrage Way beyond the brink of sanity Not knowing how to slow it down Yet I am the I of the storm And have to find a way To grab the rudder And bring me back to shore AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on November 23, 2018 for contest THE I OF THE STORM sponsored by MAUREEN McGREAVY
