Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms rolling outside
Reflecting the turmoil of my mind
It's too much to wish for a quiet time?
For a peaceful moment in my mind?
Someone please let me know
How to turn off these thoughts that I don't want
This self doubt, feelings of inadequacy
I need to take a deep breath and just be
Look at the trees swaying with the breeze
In a place where I can lose myself and just unwind
Refill my energy through the night
Just rest my body and my mind
Search for that calm place inside of me
Let it all go and feel free
Get rid of the heavy thoughts
Put them to sleep, against all odds
They don't belong to me
I'll set them free
I just want to believe
That i can reach all that I was meant to be
Let the darkness go
Look up for the light
Close my eyes and feel
A new day start
Fill my lungs with the morning breeze
Let the sun's rays wash over me
Fill me with it's light and warmth
Until I became peace and calm
