Storm
by: Leslie

Inside me brews a storm.
Twisting, turning how was this born.
My mind feeds it while my stomach contains
why must it choose to call out my name.

Control it has as it tears me down.
Leaving me with a voice that has no sound.
Spinning emotion up in the air
Causing this damage afraid I can't repair.

As quick as it came it is gone for now.
Leaving me in ruins with the question how.
Holding my head down so no one could see
This disaster that took place inside of me.

Going through my day denying it came
Again my body is paralized
When it faintly hears
The calling of my name.
