The Storm

For those battling depression, you are loved. Don't give up.

Dark skies with blazing thunder 

screams for help heard from behind 

earthquakes crumbling down under

a girl who felt she'd lost her mind. 

Lightning flashing from behind 

the only light there was, she feared. 

Leaving flashes in the night

revealing scars, blood, and tears.

She'd rather die and see pitch black

then witness the storm she was near

The thought of dying isn't so bad

when you are exposed to so much fear. 

When she felt she'd simply break

she saw the outline of the light.

A boy, her heart he'd want to take

and bring some sunshine to the night. 

She'd take a risk to end the storm

and let her heart be grabbed 

even though it was so torn

so bloody, scarred, and stabbed. 

She took a risk, she found the light

and let it shine on through. 

She was happy to live, to be alive

no longer was she blue.
