The Forest of Chaos
Calm in the Storm
As I walk through the forest of chaos
It is like a tornado of jabber floating through the air
No knowing which way to turn
Someday who to even talk to
The ground is on flames
The trees are high
Branches so thick
That you can hardly see daylight
Some moments sad
Some angry and blue
Remaining calm is something that I never knew
They say it is a time for change
And storms happen all of the time
It feels as if I've walked into the wizard of oz
And my only thoughts are I want to go home
Snuggle in my bed and pretend it is Sunday
With monsters around
It makes the lions, tigers, and bears look harmless
But we are all stuck in the mud of thoughts
Am I worthy
Am I good enough
Can I make it through the day
Oh blessed be
Can it finally rain?
Wash away the clutter
The jagged and the jabber
Can the winds come and carry the noise away
Lifting all the nonsense that is consuming my mind
I know I'm okay
These storms are all so familiar
Just continuing to breathe
I could be grasping for air
But all I know that this too
Will soon pass
And all I have left to say is thank you
