The Calm Before The Storm

by: Jessica Taylor

By Jessica TaylorPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Rolling rains with echoing thunder

I am here, standing in the eye

Life seems to drag us constantly under

and everything else seems like a lie.

Here and now is the hope

Standing with iron will

My stubborn ability to cope

Amazes me even still.

Hopes light is my flame

The steady shooting arrow

Keeping myself steady just the same

with the need to be on the straight and narrow.

Tell me now, scream it if you must

Heart feel free to loudly shout

Thine own self you must fully trust

Otherwise you will never get out.

What are your pulsing hearts desires

Surely you must keep it in your mind

Let loose the tides of your own hellfire

Open up, fire away, go see what you'll find.

Always, always a game plan you must make

Always, always you must keep your dreams in sight

No matter the cost, do whatever it takes

Never give up, never give in, and never back down from the fight.

Your dreams are yours and yours alone

Only you can make those around you believe

Make your fire and fight duly known

Take the chance and become a sight to be seen!

My deepest desire is to be able to help people; since I am too shy to be a professional speaker I decided that writing is my next best option. However, I do love the feel of the pen upon the page and the clicking of my keys on my keyboard.
