The life changing storm



I can’t catch my breath, but I am still running,
I looked behind to see the storm coming,
My mind is dizzy, my feet are numbing,
Fear tearing me into pieces I curse being living.

I have lost my strength; I have fallen on the sand
I am screaming for help in this deserted expand,
It can’t help me, what is the use of this hand,
This pain is immense which I can’t stand.

Standing again I conceived, I decided where I belonged,
Realized not the trouble but I was wrong.
Passing storm said, “Girl you are strong.
Trust yourself; you can get every happiness you long.”

I got a new me, no need for a new start,
I feel pleasure in becoming a person better than my past,
Another storm appeared out of nowhere, heading exceptionally fast,
I am still afraid of the storm, but this time I am ready for that.
