Thunderstorm
On my bed,
Teeth gritted,
Eyes shut,
Lashes moist,
Fist clenched,
Heart quickened,
Breath uneven,
In a child's pose.
In darkness,
Bright flashes,
Darkness again.
Ground rumbled,
Walls shook,
All alone,
Nothing to hold,
In a child's pose.
A reality away,
I struggled,
Thoughts circled
Where am I?
Where is everyone?
What is place?
Is this home
In hell?
Fear crept,
Need grew,
To leave,
To escape,
To get out,
Temples throbbed,
My mind torn
To shreds.
Darkness,
Bright flashes,
Darkness again.
Finally,
I woke up,
On my bed,
At home,
To a thunderstorm
outside.
