Follow Author I might jump a little when I hear the sound of thunder,
And I might look on a little in awe, hiding my slight fear
At the lightning that strives to crack open the sky,
But I am not afraid of thunderstorms, because
I have thunders hiding in the marrow of my bones,
Wrecking my insides with each passing moment,
Begging to be let out, begging to ransack my outsides
That I have been holding together with every ounce of
Strength I have got, and with every shattering sound
They make, I fear I might just let slip my control one day,
Letting them tear me apart, but I hold them in,
And the only thing I'm afraid of is someone crawling
Deep inside me, past every barrier that guards all that
I'm afraid to let out, and the only thing I'm afraid of is
Letting someone see the storms that have ravaged my body,
The storms that I still keep hidden underneath everything
Soft and smooth, letting them wreak havoc on my insides
As long as they don't ever see the light of the day,
Because I'm afraid the peeking eyes of the bright sun
Will drain every bit of the tumult I am made of, and
Repulsed by the sight left thereafter, leave me barren and dry.
