This Storm Brewing Within
You’ve created this storm inside me
The rainfall that happens to be tears
I shed for you for the sake of feeling empty
I call out to you, sincerely and bitterly throughout the years
Thunderclouds come rolling in now
Somehow, I’ve been breaking my longevity of positivity’s vow
I’m sorry I’ve let you down
If only I can remarkably drown
You made my clouds reduce to teardrops
You made my eyes, clouded by raindrops
You shade me with your words of envy
You forbade me to say words of plenty
Shame on me for feeling too much these days
I want to die…die…die away I pray in many ways
I’m sorry I can’t sleep at nightfall
I’m sorry I made everyone feel appall
If only I can whisper words of wisdom
Instead of seeking death and no hope for the Kingdom
I’m just a bard…in prison bars…
Bearing these bloodied scars…
If you want to know,
I will let it show
If you want to know,
I will let it glow
This inner light in me
In darkness that won’t let me be…
Free
Possibly, you’ll set me free
If only this storm inside me
Will vanish into daylight time
I am not always that sunlit shine
I won’t threaten my life
Like a thunderstorm would with rain
I have dealt with this strife
But, I will drive the negativity to the drain
