"Passing Storms"





Without clarification...
There is often mistakes given to the silence...
A loudness of quiet...
Like a crack of thunder in the darkness of night
Words echo...
Tears hang like droplets of rain
Baited breath awaits the storm
Heavy clouds of worry
Shades of gray are filled with an aching loss of the sunshine
Prayers beg for a clearing
Haunted is the mind
Confusion and concern
So much time wasted...
To maintain a life not lived
For the benefit of others?
What is your true happiness?
Run to it, instead of from it
The past will never change
The version of you that others have created
Is not our responsibility to maintain
Don't surrender your faith
Never allow the peace you keep
To turn into the prison holding you back
You are not darkness
Just because others are afraid to shine their light
We are not our mistakes
We are what we make of them after learning
And if you break...
It's okay to embrace your friends
Allowing them to help you put yourself back together again
Every day is a new beginning
Take a deep breath
Another step
Smile and start again with open arms
Because the curious things about storms...
They always pass.
