Clouds gather,
Holding on tight
To your weak little lungs
And hurt little heart.
Suffocating,
Fast and strong-
Your ribs crack like a whip.
Pushed under pressure,
Breathing becomes a distant memory.
Rain leaks from your eyes,
Slipping softly down your cheeks.
Thunder sounds when you open your mouth.
The storm in your chest-
Overwhelming.
You are engulfed.
Your stomach writhes,
Yearning for release.
You reach the zenith of your pain.
The storm calms.
The wind slows.
The thunder fades.
Leaving a tranquil, serene place
In the midst of disaster.
