The Lightning Hit My Heart

The Lightning Hit My Heart

The lightning hit my heart in silence, without a warning sign,

No thunder spoke before it came, no shadow crossed the line,

It split the calm I carried deep, where no one else could see,

And left a mark of burning light that now belongs to me.

It did not ask for shelter, it did not knock or wait,

It found the door unguarded there, and chose to change my fate,

A sudden flash, a living force, too fierce to turn away,

And in that single moment, night was torn into the day.

I felt it in the quiet pulse that once was soft and slow,

Now racing like a storm set free with nowhere left to go,

It cracked the walls I built with care, so steady, firm, and strong,

Revealing all the hidden truths I held inside so long.

The lightning was not gentle, it refused to let me hide,

It lit the corners of my soul I kept too far inside,

Each flicker showed a different face, each spark a different truth,

A fierce return to something lost, the echo of my youth.

And though it burned, it also gave a strange and vivid light,

A way to see beyond the dark that followed every night,

It carved a path through doubt and fear, through every quiet scar,

And showed me just how strong I am, exactly as I are.

The storm has passed in many ways, the sky has learned to clear,

Yet still I feel that striking force whenever it draws near,

A reminder in the beating chest that carries what it found,

That even shattered pieces still can make a stronger sound.

So let the lightning live in me, I will not turn away,

For in its wild and fearless fire, I found a different way,

A heart once still now dares to feel, to break, to start again,

And carry all that burning light through loss, through love, through pain.
