Weathering the storm

A tempest brews, a turbulent sea

Inside my mind, a storm is me

Waves of doubt, of fear, of pain

Crash and swirl, a chaotic refrain

 

The winds howl loud, the thunder rolls

As emotions rage, my heart\'s in knots

The darkness gathers, a maelstrom\'s sway

I search for calm, a peaceful way

 

Like a lighthouse beam, I seek the shore

A refuge from the turmoil\'s roar

I breathe deep, and let go slow

The storm\'s wild energy starts to flow

 

The waves subside, the thunder\'s hush

As calmness settles, like a gentle rush

The sun peeks through, a glimmer of light

Illuminating the dark of night

 

In stillness, I find my center\'s core

A sense of peace, I\'ve been searching for

The storm subsides, the turmoil fades

As I calm the waters, my heart\'s displayed
