The Storms Within

The lightening strikes, brightening the skies
As the rain pours heavily from my eyes.

The harsh wind snaps, swaying the trees aside.
Revealing emotions I try to hide.

Shivering from the storm, my jaw is clenched,
I cling to the warmth, but my body's drenched.

The sky grows dark, but I am not afraid,
Afraid of the storm or being outweighed.

This storm will calm, but it's kind of fickle,
The rain that pours, will turn to a trickle.

Lightening strikes, will start to fade away,
And the wind that snaps, will be calm today.

I will make it through, this dark rugged night,
I refuse to give up without a fight.
