The Storm

This storm ravages me
The lightening flashes in my eyes
Torrential rains soaking me

Hurricane winds forcing me
in directions I don’t want to go
Doing everything except sweeping my soul clean

The thunder shakes my very core
Nothing to hold on to
I am weak and powerless

No shelter to be found
No safe haven
All security ripped from my grasp

The sun will not shine
The moon will not glow
No stars light my path
