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
