[Poetry] Storms

Storms
by birgitriddle

As the rainfall starts around me,
I can feel the storm brewing within,
Don't push me too far,
For I am in the mood to be cruel.

Anger is an ugly emotion,
Dammed up inside where no one can see,
But it builds and builds,
Until it bursts and floods.

I do not love myself now,
My emotions, as human as they may be,
Make me feel as if I'm a monster,
Ready to destroy everything.

So I hide in my room,
Waiting for the storm to past,
Both the one outside,
And the one within.

This is who I am,
And I'll be better in the morning,
But let me be during the storm,
Allowing the ugly energy inside me die.

Then, when the morning dawns,
And all that is left of the storm,
Is the drops of water left on plants,
Then I'll speak.
