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
