Control of My Storm

You once had control of my storm, your fists shot through my heart like thunder and threw its beat off course,

You once had control of the bolts of lightening that pierced through my soul and electrified my circuits,

You once had control of the floods of my tears that flowed into the ocean and was like poison to my tear ducts,

You once had control of the tornado of destructive thoughts I had of myself,

Your words of carnage swirled through my mind and caused a lifetime of

damage,

You once had control of the gusts of wind that would tear the air out of my lungs,

My desperate gasp for oxygen was torn from my body with your fierce touch,

You once had control of the fall of hail that would leave marks of your dark moments and leave me scared and weak,

That was then and this is now...

I have control of the sun that shines upon my face and raises my heart,

The rays glisten my eyes and widen my smile,

I control the blue skies that bring me joy and the canvas that helps my wings spread,

My gentle touch lifts each feather of these wings to soar into my freedom,

I control the rain that trickles off my face and washes away those moments of heartache,

Each drop absorbs the bad memories that your storm imprinted on me

and trickles away,

I control the speed and depth of my clouds that float by,

There are days that my blue skies are overcast but it is now me that controls the atmosphere,

I control the breeze that dances on my skin and plays with my hair,

My fingertips feel each motion of the soft,

Gentle touch of this breeze and it reminds me that I am alive

Your storm showed me the sunshine that I did not see,

Your thunder showed me the rainbows that spread across the sky with its vibrancy,

Your tornado helped me feel the breeze that I did not recognise

So thank you for your control...
