Be The Storm

A poem

In the eye of it all

Mixed with all the scourge and dirt

Remembering to learn how to run before you fall

Taking too many risks will get you hurt

In the middle of it all, you get the picture

Too bold to stand down when it starts to rain

Nothing about tomorrow was ever meant to be sure

Don't worry when others decide that you're insane

As it all starts tumbling down around you

You always knew in your heart that this is what you were to be

No walking away before doing what you gotta do

Even if the danger means tomorrow is what you might never see

It's in the eye that some choose to take their stand

They're not waiting for the help to come

There's no guarantee that if it goes wrong, they'll make it to the promised land

Heaven is only meant to receive some

But in the eye of that storm is where you always planned

To one day have to learn if you're a man

Stepping up to the darkness and taking a stand

Deep inside, knowing this wasn't a well-thought-out plan

Rest your head knowing you did the right thing

Not all who could have stepped up to the plate

Know that you don't have to be a hero or a king

And when the good do something bad, they can still enter the gate

But if it's to be that you go down

Know that you'll be remembered well

Wherever this takes you, do not wear a frown

It's better to do what needs to be done than worry about hell

You were in the eye of it all

But you weren't in the storm

You never did truly fall

Because you were the storm
