The Storm

A storm is coming

The sun is shining 
The birds are singing
The grass is green
That's when you know
A storm is coming 

You can feel it
The tension in the air
You can sense it 
The anxiety it brings

Nothing lasts forever
The high of happiness 
Always brings a storm

You start to notice
The shaking in your hands
The race running through your mind
The loss of your appetite 
The mess in your room
The self-isolation 
A storm is coming

Darkness clouds your every thought
Everything comes raining down
As your tears flood your home
Your life thundering with anger
Hoping soon the lightning strikes you 
The storm is here

Everything is destroyed 
The damage is permanent 
But no one seems to notice
The pain of what you’ve lost 

You call for help
No one answers 
Your alone
You search for safety 
But you can’t escape yourself

The storm is never-ending 
Until you decide to end it all
