Whirlwind

My mind spins in endless flight,  
chased by shadows of self-doubt.  
Love’s mirror feels unkind tonight,  
each flaw a storm, my heart shouts.  

I wish to rest where calm resides,  
be free of the chaos within.  
But winds of fear whisper, collide,  
uncertainty sways where I begin.

Yet in the tempest, light may peek,  
a flicker of hope through darkened skies.
With courage born from whispered dreams,  
I dare to dance in the storm’s embrace.

For in the storm, my spirit gleams,  
with every heartbeat, I rise, I face.
I entwine with my fears, redefined,  
each tempest a sculptor of my grace.
I forge my path through roaring winds,  
the tempest sings, a fierce lullaby of strength.
