A Storm Rages On

I wrote this poem during a dark time in my life, but am in a better place now.

A Storm Rages On

Here I sit in my easy chair and while I continue to

Stare at these four walls, I contemplate just

Where I belong in this life, or if I even do.

While outside my window a storm rages on,

The rain streams down the window.

Just like the tears stream down my cheeks;

The wind howls and moans, just like my

Emotions running out of control.

The lightning flashes, just like my memories

Of a happier past that is now long gone.

The storm intensifies both outside and inside.

When will the calm return, no one can tell

Not even me. When will blue skies return,

and when will the sun shine down once again?

How I wish I could make this storm go away.

Wait there is a way, it would not be easy.

But I could do it, No I can not.

Choosing that path would bring the storm

To too many other people. So I must find another way,

So I go on another day, as the storm rages on
