Downfall

Dark clouds loomed

Thunder lashed out

Lightning strikes of that angry face,

so clear in the darkened sky

.

Hiding between the clouds for cover,

raining in sadness

as the echo of the thunder

reverberates in her head

.

The dark, stormy sky

Light only in the lightning

That isn’t the light she seeks

with negative charges present

.

At the eye of the storm,

though it seemed to be the calmest,

but then came the worst

Shattering her fragile being

into pieces of glass

.

Where was the light,

at the end of the storm?

Or, will the storm even end?

.

The light she seeks

in hopes to replace

her shattered being

into something stronger

.

Her hope:

When the storm reaches again,

it would not cause more harm
