Seeking Shelter

Wrote this poem sometime in middle school. I think the backstory has something to do with a disagreement some friends and I had, but I'm not entirely sure. Hope you enjoy. Jesus loves you <3 :)

In the midst of the storm,

And it shows no sign of decreasing.

Searching for a way out-

All hope and joy seems to be ceasing.

The rain is pouring down,

And the thunder keeps rolling.

Lightning flashes-

I keep wearily strolling.

Seeking shelter, that safe haven

From all hurt, harm, or danger.

But it’s difficult to find, when surrounded by

Fear, depression, and anger.

But I still keep pressing on,

Knowing that the clouds will roll away.

It currently seems like there’s nothing there,

But I know I’ll find it someday.

Author's Note

Constructive criticism, please. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing.

I love this. It really shows hope, even in a bad situation. For writing it in middle school it seems especially fitting, as those years usually tend to be the ones with most drastic change. It is very well written for a middle school student. :)
