There is a path
That twists through my soul
And on either side
There is turmoil
There is a raging war
Between what has to be done
And what is right
The two do not go together
There is a growing darkness
And a raging storm
Spreading… consuming
And the thunder rolls
Anger and hate
Two emotions so strong
And they speak so loudly
Not scared to be known
And as you approach the end
There is a break in the clouds
Where the sun breaks through
Giving warmth
This warmth
It is for the ones I love
The ones who will help me overcome this war
And will stand beside me in the end.

beautiful. Well thought out, alot of introspection here. The conflicts of the inner world, can surmount that of the outer...well it depends how we see things.
Good luck and thnakyou for entering! -
Well done, sister! I feel you as I speak these words and emotions rise and fall with the flow of this as if floating in with the tide. (Are you a moon child? LOL) From the perfect storm, you brought in a calm. But are we in the eye? Or will emotions rise again? Nonetheless, the eye is usually the safest place to be. Write on, sister... You are poetry.
