Storm in Soul
poetry about storms you may feel in your soul

FEEL ALIVE & WILD
he heard the roar of the wave
saw lightning flying through the sky
he felt the wind in his hair
and exactly in this moment
he realised that it is his soul
that is so brave
we all are different but as soon as we talk about our storms we might realise that people all over the world are experiencing similar things and that we are not alone
the way you feel things
the way you are
it doesn’t mean others do the same
from same battle you can have a different scar
SHIVERS OF UNKNOWN LOVE
We are the lovers
not yet holding our hands
still trying to figure out
how big is our chance
Laying on the grass
staring on those stars
hoping there’s something great
they want to show us
BUT STILL WE TRIED
babe we were not perfect
we were far from good
we are just kids that fall in love
earlier than they should
THE SOCIETY
they teach us to be wise
don’t let anyone see your weak side
otherwise you’ll pay the price
it doesn’t really matter
if you’re girl or boy
anyways you are a society’s toy
WATCH YOUR TONE
they say
bite your tongue
don’t say a word
cause you might hurt their feelings
but they don’t know
they’re hurting yours
instead of healing
the pressure to look the way THEY WANT
you’re running like it was a race
against anyone else
still trying to win first place
for best body and face
NEVER ENDING CARNIVAL
tear the mask down
babe you’re not the clown
you don’t have to smile all the time
and that’s just fine
YOU CAN BE THE WHOLE GARDEN
your body has strength
and it has a power
you need to water it and feed it
such as a flower
because if you don’t
it changes a shape
and you think that’s great
but after a while
the leaves turn brown
and the head turns down
and that’s not great anymore
when you’re barely breathing on the floor
so
keep your strength and power
you’re beautiful
such as a flower
MOTHERHOOD
you sacrificed yourself
for his soul and health
I know you will be his shield
on the way through his life
even though it might be a battlefield
BE THERE FOR YOURSELF
sometimes it feels like
figuring things out
is more complicated
than you have awaited
no one can give you map or plan
you need to be your best coach
and biggest fan
GET UP FOR YOURSELF
go find your passion, love and peace
get up from your knees
on the picture smile the way you want
you don’t have to say cheese
stay true
even when things get f*cked up
out of the blue
but most of it all
be you
HEY
hey
I know they tell you to be strong
and you doubt you can take it for so long
but you fake a smile
and you scream inside
& for a moment you wish there was a place where you can hide
listen
they’re right
you’re strong and not alone
we all sometimes have to fight
and go through things
which are simply not right
COMMON MISTAKE
don’t get love with curiosity confused
and those “I love you” words
misused
FIGHT MY THOUGHTS and lose
heavy stone on the chest
from all these thoughts I’m trying to get some rest
but that’s impossible
everything’s too visible
as if you were hiding a dragon in bird’s nest
HEAVY
what should you do
when nothing’s wrong
but nothing seems right too?
why is it so hard to name
things that hurt you inside
and causes anxiety and pain?
CONFESSION
I can pretend that I’m not a coward
but sometimes reality hits like a cold shower
I feel like powerful wizard
but sometimes without her power
EXPERIENCE IT ALL
without fear there would not be bravery
so, try to understand
without pain you would never know how beautiful happiness is
it is not a different story
my friend
YOU WERE MY PERSON
I scream from the bottom of my lungs
everyone keeps telling me it’s alright
but it’s even worse at night
and I can’t breathe
oh I can’t breathe
I miss those times when you missed me
my voice’s shaking
and my heart is breaking
no I can’t breathe
oh I can’t breathe
what did I do to you
what did you do to me
it was so damn nice
when it was us
yeah
I mean you and me
- to the person who I loved too much to be this close
DON’T GRAG ME OR HER INTO YOUR DECISIONS
you have a girlfriend but you still call me pretty
in ways she can never know
otherwise she’ll see you treated her
how?
well, shitty
hope your girlfriend does not know my name
I don’t wanna be part of the reason
for her pain
and I don’t want to be the cause
of her loss
when she realizes
that I’m in your vain
and you surely know
more than my name
THE UNKNOWN BEAUTY
you’ll never know
how many passers-by
can’t even the other day
get you of their mind
how many people loved you
or still do
and you never knew
STOP THE TIME
in the third grade
joking about our future
we never thought that it will be here so fast
now we’re on the edge of high school
wishing childhood was something
that could forever last
It all takes time and courage my friend
you can’t take back those old summer days
and even though you want it so bad
you can’t get back
what you already had
I’m scared of the future
what will it bring?
baby I’m clueless
more than you think
I love my teenage years
when I’m not surrounded
by adulthood fears
this all “living on your own”
& not often coming home
I’m scared
you have those eighteen years
and then there is a line
my dear
I wish I could stop the time
YOUR LOOK WHICH I STILL REMEMBER
that one look
that was all it took
and we both knew
for you it was me
for me it was you
he loved her
she loved him
but they never told each other
and that was a sin
I can’t do a single thing
but it still makes me think
what if?
because you maybe liked me
and it can’t be gone
or can be?
just tell me
we don’t even have one last summer
cause it’s already gone
you’re leaving in less than hour
to places I’ll probably never know
but I hope there are tomorrows
where we can be close
