Weathering The Storm

[eternalscribe]

Weathering The Storm

Curling up in the corner
Arms wrapped around my knees
Tears getting lost in the denim
As I try to make sense out of the hurt

Words can cut like knives
Making tears run like blood
The silence can sometimes be worse
Than the whispered comments

The winds of change have been coming
And they sometimes can be tearing as well
I'm not sure what this wind will bring
Not sure if this is a storm I can weather

My hands are shaking and I close my eyes
These are things that cause me to weaken
No matter how hard I try to be strong
I just don't see how this can all end well

The tears and the rain all seem to mix
The winds and the sound of my cries
The thunder rolls around in the air
Sort of like the words that have been thrown

I'm feeling quite alone in the midst of this storm
Not having an anchor close at hand
Caught between a hurricane and a tsunami
My head threatening to burst at the seams

I don't know how this will end
Who will still be standing when the rains end
I don't know how to shield myself from the pain
Or how to get myself through this unscathed
