Sideways Rain

This storm has been chasing me, one day at a time.

There's a storm chasing me

And I can't escape it

The wind's tirade is facing me,

This typhoon of glass ends, I can't take it-

Any peace I just so happen to find is so short-lived

Trepidation has completely torn apart my floor- Who will find me?

Water has been slowly rising, what air I have left won't be so long-lived

Thunder's footsteps roar behind me

A cover of clouds turn blue skies black

For a merely infinite moment, my world is blind

Nature's worst is standing at my back

Outside of flashbacks, there's no light to find

Inside the falling rain, sideways coming down

Taking sight from my eyes one at a time

Soon to leave nothing left to be found

This storm has been chasing me, one day at a time

About the Creator

JM

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
